Thanks!

Are there any plans to support the last type?

This is the common
use of ACLs in my situation, so currently we are hacking the stuff
by executing chmod && chown each time files get updated. Recursively.

Very dirty and not very performant, but the only solution that
seems to be available with FreeBSD.
