Let's please *not* have this discussion.
I think I'm realizing now that when I used the phrase "consumed
(implementation-wise", some folks read that as my belief that these
two features will have the same basic implementation. That's not what
I meant. I meant that once we have ACLs, I see us gutting out our
implementation of locks and re-implementing them as a subset of ACLs.
Probably a poor choice of words on my part. And of course, I could be
completely off-base in that prediction, all of which is fine. But
there's no need to have that discussion right now.
