Xattrs are intended for exactly this kind of auxiliary file
information. They are used for POSIX ACLs as well, and they are not
going to go away. A number of utilities now include support for
xattrs. By using xattrs for Richacls, those tools will automatically
have at least basic Richacl support (for backup/restore and similar
purposes, for example). In the kernel, supporting a new set of xattrs
is pretty cheap and easy. So I really don't see the point of inventing
yet another interface for basically the same type of information.
