"more support" as in what?  A Nautilus UI for managing them?  ACLs are 
fully supported by *Linux*, even if GNOME doesn't give you a UI to view 
and modify them.  Admins can modify them using the command line tools, 
systems running Samba often have ACLs which users can manage directly. 
There's definitely a need for software that will back up ACLs as well as 
data (which dump fills quite well). :)
