The point that I haven't seen answered is why not have two file
systems. One being bog standard FFS and the other being FFS with
the addition of ACLs?

As a consultant I work with SunOS4, Solaris, AIX, HPUX, and various
versions of DEC UNIX. You can't use ACLs across those platfroms either.
And there's still Unixware, SCO OpenServer, MPE/IX, Dynix/ptx and others
out there. ACLs are good when you need them, but if you don't then they
are just useless overhead in the filesystem.
