Since the new plotting infrastructure the gerber plotter already
supported both units; the IN was simply the compatibility default and it
only needed an UI option to be bound.

If someone changed the default without adding a radio button or
something then blame to him:P

AFAIK there would be no technical reason to not do inch plotting...
