Why I hate mixing implicit/explicit styles
Raw
gistfile1.md 
<style name="Widget" />

<style name="Widget.Button" />

<style name="Widget.Button.Alternative" parent="@android:style/SomeOtherStyle />

All buttons either use Widget.Button or Widget.Button.Alternative.

I decide to change something in Widget.Button.

Expected: All buttons change.

Actual: Only Widget.Button changes because Widget.Button.Alternative doesn't have anything to do with Widget or Widget.Button.
