I have the code. It is limited to the number of free ints in the on disk inode (which is now larger than it was under 386BSD/FreeBSD 1.x). It would not be very effective with the new FS code (a limit of 2 or so ACL's). It (obviously) also suffers from the same problems as quotas, namely it's bogus because quota should be implemented as a stacking layer anyway so they can be applied to all fs's, and so they don't care about quotafile placement.
