it would also be great if the cifs developers would all trogether try to
convince the kernel developers that the richacl implmentation gets upstreamed.
cifs vfs urgently needs it. NT ACLs on POSIX clients are practically unusabe
without having richalcs. Same for the upcoming cifs kernel server.

I tried to bring up the richacl topic a while ago on the kerenel mailing list
but the voices of many of the cifs developers will be much more significant and
can not so easily be ignored by the kernel maintainer I think.
