REMT politely kept his correction off list. But I was wrong. Or at least,
I at best quoted a shitah R' Yitzchaq himself later rejects.

The stam mishnah in Zevachim (14:8, 112b in the gemara) explicitly says,
"Ba'u liY-m, neesru habamos VELO HAYAH LAHEN OD HETER..."

He also quoted Megillah 1:11 (9b), "qedushas Shiloh yeish achareha heter,
qedushas Y-m EIN ACHAREHA HETER." The gemara ad loc (10a) days that R'
Yitzchoq changed his mind since the quote I gave. Tosafos says that R'
Yitzchoq held was that even if lo qidshah le'asid lavo, it would only
prohibit qorbanos in Y-m, not permit them elsewhere.
