Less a question of missing documentation than missing advertising. For =
example, acl(5) makes it really obvious that POSIX.1e semantics are =
supported, and the first mention of NFSv4 is in a long list of other =
unsupported types. We might want to begin simply by saying ".Fx supports =
POSIX.1e and NFSv4 ACLs" and expand a bit on the differences.
