When will ACL on Linux be part of the DE?


By "part" I mean in the properties of the file or folder you can configure ACL with ease.

Is there anything blocking for this integration/improvement of the DE(Desktop Environment) to happen?

Could you be more specific? Do you have a particular desktop environment in mind? Or a particular bug? Or would you rather see it implemented in a different way? Eg. KDE/Plasma has this feature for more than 10 years.

Edit: maybe you mean Gnome Files, which lacks ACL support[1], but there is Eiciel extension to handle it[2].
