ZFS Using legacy mount points

In the manual zfs(8) can be read:
A file system can also have a mount point set in the mountpoint property. This directory is created as needed, and ZFS automatically mounts the file system when the "zfs mount -a" command is invoked (without editing /etc/fstab). The mountpoint property can be inherited, so if pool/home has a mount point of /home, then pool/home/user automatically inherits a mount point of /home/user.
There are no drawbacks but different usage. I.e. inheritance is not a feature of legacy mountpoints.
