> It was 12 years ago. In FreeBSD, full supper for NFSv4 ACLs

You are right, but ironically we have to thank Microsoft for that ;)

Why, apart from inventing them (in Windows NT) in the first place?

Well the posix conglomerate had such big problems implementing a ACL (mostly because of blabla)... Then Microsoft did one for NT which was then took over to NFS, later the posix peoples decided on a ACL but no one wanted it anymore. However FreeBSD supports both, but the NFS/Microsoft one is the standard.
