Is there any RFE which requests the implementation of NFSv4-like ACLs
for tmpfs yet ?

Ok... does that mean that I have to create a ZFS filesystem to actually
test ([1]) an application which modifies ZFS/NFSv4 ACLs or are there any
other options ?

operations work correctly, however the testing framework must only run
as normal, unpriviledged user...
