I very much second this proposal. We've been spinning our wheels on the issue of support for non-posix draft acls for far too long.
So could we take the proposal to the relevant list to see who else wants to talk about it and whether any of the ground work can be covered beforehand?
Adding fsdevel, ext4 list. samba will also be interested, but that is subscriber only list
