Absolutely. And the existing ACLs which were added without the knowledge
or consent of the package maintainer should be removed immediately.
How do we know which ones were added without knowledge/consent? I for
one know about them, and require them for some packages I own. I don't
believe this info is tracked anywhere though.
There is a pretty easy solution to that. Ask the maintainers. New
package maintainers are likely to be not aware of the current policy of
automatically adding ACL's to their packages. I suspect many of them
would prefer to share the work in things that can be done by a group
like rebuilding packages.
