Keeping a niche open for ACLs is probably smart, esp. in the Windows world.
I think you'll find ACL use is increasing, not decreasing. They've been tacked on to most recent filesystems, and they're coming into more widespread use as Linux is getting really decked out for mission-critical usage and the facilities are pushed out for everyone to use.
They're certainly important for AIX, Solaris, Tru64, and HP/UX. (Whether those are useful in themselves is a separate question, of course...)
