The other option here is for someone to take the source of something
like chown which has a -R option, and chacl which does not. Merge the
two and send in a patch. This is the sort of project which would be
fairly easy for someone to tackle, would solve a problem. We are
very tight on resources here and cannot be relied upon for things
like bells and whistle extensions to commands like this.

No it does not, but XFS running under nfs will still impose the acls on
accesses from NFS.
