Follow-up Comment #2, bug #19546 (project coreutils):
I don't take that text in the standard literally. In the hypothetical "POSIX
plus abandoned POSIX ACLs" standard that we're implementing, I feel certain it
would have been changed to account for default ACLs.
I really doubt that a user who applies a default ACL to a directory would
then rely on mkdir honoring the umask in preference to the default ACL. But
if you're genuinely worried about breakage, I would be happy to have a new
option, or preferably a new environment variable that I could set globally.
This issue causes me pain every time I install software from source: since I
use umask 0077, installs into a shared directory with an appropriate default
ACL are unusable by others until I go and change the permissions manually.
