You mean silently changing the binary format of those attributes?

I really doubt that we can get rid of those attributes. The patches in this queue don't "change" the format of those attributes, they only fix them for use in UID/GID namespaces where they are currently broken. Validation when setting those xattrs could be removed, allowing sysadmins to set acls which the kernel and xfs_repair would reject; it seems rather pointless though.
