ACLs not supported? That's bizzare! That's insane!

I had been reading that the very reason you want to use Reiser 4 is 
because that's where the ACLs were going to be. It is after all built on 
a database and the Reiser4 page is full of talk about ACLs. It is 
claimed that Reiser4 is done and ready for the real world and no ACL 
support. Reiser 3 has ACL support. EXT3 has ACL support. Every other 
file system has ACL support.

How can there be a claim that Reiser4 is ready to be merged into the 
Kernel without ACL support? Here I am gearing up to switch over and now 
I can't. I just spent the last few week hassling Redhat to make Fedora 
more Reiser friendly. This is moe than just a little disapointing. It's 
just plain crazy.

So - what's the story with that? Why no ACLs in a system built on a 
dadtbase?
