Yes. Basic ACL support has already been merged into 2.5.7. Ext2/Ext3
backend support will be as soon as the current beta testing is done.
So there is no need for seperate kernel patches for 2.5 and up.
I assume one might be able to convince Marcello to accept a backport for
2.4. IMHO 2.2 is obsolete now that 2.4 is stable.
And since there is absolutely no documentation available on how to
generate kernel-patch packages, i will no longer pursue this.
