Summary0001685: Channel command creates ramps instead.
DescriptionWhen designating channels, dwarves instead dig ramps. This function is identical to the "Dig Upward Ramps" command in every respect and causes an unnecessary amount of extra work.
Steps To ReproduceDesignate a channel, then watch.
Additional InformationMight not be a bug, but it renders plumbing extremely ugly, and moats nigh useless without excessive ramp removal.

This issue is already discussed at 0000036

Also, it will create channel if you mine out layer below.

Indeed, but I don't see the point of making channel identical to dig upward ramp
