And of course the NFSv4 protocol itself already has support for NFSv4 ACLs. What's missing is support for NFSv4 ACLs in local fileystems.
As others say, there was a concerted attempt to support native NFSv4/Windows-like ACLs a few years ago. But VFS folks are skeptical of ACLs to start off with, and especially so of also supporting a second, much more complicated ACL model that's a bit alien to Linux.
