As you probably guessed, Fabien was talking about one2many fields on the
*Partner form* view, and similar cases where the one2many field does not
represent a parent-child relationship. In many of these cases this [reverse]
o2m relationship was only added to the model as a way to embed a list of
"related items" in the form view. The idea is that those o2m relationships do
not need to be materialized and are best accessed as "related links",
previously located in the sidebar and now also as buttons in the form view.
