1) Making Windows-type permission inheritance by default would change the default behavior. Even if this would be a good thing, it will cause users to be disoriented.
2) Currently Windows-type inheritance is available as an option, provided user-mapping is defined. This restriction will be lifted in the future, but with no user mapping, the same exact result as Windows cannot be achieved, though it may provide significant improvement for users more wary on Windows protections than on Linux ones.
