On further reflection.  I want to respectfully disagree.

The name of the relevant dialog box is "Numbering Style". As I understand,
"inherit from" would never apply, so should not be shown according to usability
principle.

Other (similar) dialog boxes, such as "Paragraph Style", "Frame Style", and
"Character Style" also have "Inherit From" in their Organizer, and I can see
(from comparing 6.3.4.2 and 6.5.0.0) that the "Edit Style" button is now
deactivated (presumably from bug 120286). (No problem there.  Was not in the
original report.)

But if I have understood the usability POV correctly, then "Numbering Style"
and "Page Style" Organizer tabs should not show "Inherit From"  because (as
best I can tell), it is never possible to use this control (when modifying
existing or making new Numbering or Page Styles).
