NEWS/version for 2.53.3 #906

Closed gdt closed 1 year ago

gdt commented 1 year ago

As I understand it the xattr impl of POSIX draft ACLs is nonstandard. That's fine to support but I don't want to add to the already large confusion around ACLs.

There is nothing standard about POSIX ACLs to begin with :) Then maybe just add "(see manual)"? I want to avoid people adding -acl and expecting things to happen. It will not work in this case.

I realize POSIX.1e was withdrawn, but it seems other systems implement it and Linux sort of does but that interfaces in 1003.2c aren't usable and thus a single code path doesn't work. Thus "syncing POSIX draft ACLs" implies interop which isn't there.
