OK... That probably sounds a bit unfair...

If you are holding a delegation, then my interpretation is that the
server is obliged to recall it if someone modifies the ACLs, so ACLs do
sort of fit into the delegation model. Furthermore, a client could in
principle call OPEN() before modifying an ACL in order to attempt to
maintain cache consistency.

That said, my point about them not having any known size (and indeed the
fact that there appears to be no limit to their size) still stands. In
that respect, ACLs still appear to differ from all the other file
attributes...

Cheers,
  Trond
