Is there some reason why there hasn't been a greater effort to add NFSv4 ACL support to the mainstream linux filesystems? I have to support a hybrid linux/windows environment and not having these ACLs on ext4 is a daily headache for me. Also, it doesn't take much need for security granularity to realize that POSIX ACLs (not ever even formally standardized!) are fairly inadequate, but more importantly, don't play nicely with their Windows friends.
