Such a solution has two problems:

 - It is hard to make it work (look at the gymnastics which 
   Persistence.Persistent has to go through sometime);

 - It makes objects harder to reuse (a lot of the "new religion"
   effort is aimed at reducing or eliminating the need for mix-in
   inheritance for just this reason).
