Comment (by westonruter):

 Instead of there being an option to push the CSS into another theme when
 switching, it would probably be preferred to have a dropdown to pull CSS
 from another theme. So if you're editing a twentyseventeen child theme you
 there could be a dropdown for importing CSS from twentyseventeen parent
 theme.

 Aside: the CSS pulled from the other theme would need to first check the
 current changeset to see if there are any CSS changes for that theme
 stored in it, and if so, use those instead of the changes in the
 `custom_css` post type for that theme.

 I'm not 100% sure this is a defect. It seems more like an enhancement.
