Feature Request

Please provide use cases for changing the current behavior:

This is a request for child theme support for Sage 9. In almost every other way (templating, configuration, etc.) Roots does an amazing job of keeping WP structure and functionality intact. Implementing a parent/child theme however seems to be missing. By creating a child theme, you further abstract/extend functionality and style.

@QWp6t could you give some pointers on how to create one now that https://github.com/roots/sage/commit/1a8dce9b092e8bbe1d1921c43eb3691f3399b0a7 has merged?

Yes, please add this functionality! My team is effectively making 'department' websites, which are child themes using Sage as a parent. Sage 9 presently requires a separate instance for each department.
