Comment:

 There are zero plans to change the term/taxonomy schema in the future.
 Additionally, even if there were minor adjustments, multiple parents
 completely destroy the concept of a hierarchy and would likely have
 absolutely zero traction from the core developers.

 Multiple parents would result in a half-baked schema, UI, and changes to
 the taxonomy API for hierarchical taxonomies. It's just not going to
 happen.

 Based on your proposed solution, a plugin could implement what you're
 looking for.
