The thing is that "zfs inherit ..." is, effectively, unsetting the
property so it can be inherited. If the to-be-inherited value is
different from the current, then the same controls must apply as would
to changing the property value in the first place. That might be
implied by zfs inherit's definition ("[c]lears the specified property,
causing it to be inherited from an ancestor"). I think Tim was just
asking to make this explicit.
