NFSv4 ACLs, while not a perfect match for NTFS ACLs are a lot closer much more usable to people who want to serve Windows clients. Also in the pure linux world there is a lot that you can not express with just rwx, sgid, sticky bits and friends. If you want the additional functionality of the richacl bits, I would call it a big mistake to omit negative aces, if just for the reason not to create yet another ACLs flavor. > Whilst I have sympathy with your intense dislike of the > Windows ACL model, this comes down to the core of "who > do we serve ?" The world has enough confusion around ACL semanics, please do not add more to it by creating your own model of the day.
