This feature flag selects richacl instead of posix acl support on the
file system. In addition, the "acl" mount option is needed for enabling
either of the two kinds of acls.

If this is going to be an incompat feature, the reasoning for that being the case should be clearly documented in either the changelog or the code itself. While the people involved in the discussion of this may understand the reasoning, that doesn't mean any arbitrary individual will at some point in the future, and documenting it properly will save time for people trying to figure out why this non-obvious choice was made.
