The permissions to change the ACL are not overly relevant here.  The
reason is, if the user has no permissions to write the DACL, it won't be
able to chmod anyway.  So, whatever we do to implement ACL_MASK, it's ok
even in a corp env, because the user apparently has the right to change
the DACL and thus it doesn't matter.

True.  Noacl mounts are the way to go in case of what you describe,
having no perms to write the DACL, even if the files are owned by
the user.
