I think it would help with certain customizations which check whether a 
mode is derived from e.g. js-mode.

But whatever code that runs in parent-mode-hook won't run in the 
"derived modes" that use the new mechanism, would it?

I wonder which of these two problems have a bigger impact for the 
seamless migration to ts modes.
