NTSC version being parents was just the MESS convention, which was mostly the opposite of the MAME one.
Personally, I think we shall be as consistent as possible with MAME, so that I support keeping Euro software as parent in software list and I'd like to switch parent/clone relationship among console... but since P/C relationship is really nothing to make crusades about there has been no motivation enough to proceed in this direction, by discussing with driver maintainers about such a switch.
