No, it really wasn't.

The ACLs were fine until the change in the new Cygwin version. Now there 
are 12 ACL entries, all non inherited / inheritance is broken, for each 
file...

Also, I always ways able to change ACLs through Explorer without 
warnings, which I need to do from time to time.

I'm sorry but all of this can be summed up as bad design.


I've explained what ACLs should be added by Cygwin in a related message. 
By making use of default, inherited ACLs, at most 3 (+1 for whatever 
NULL SID is doing ...) are needed. At least I see no reason why there 
should be such a bloat.

Besides, if cygwin set ACLs properly on the root folder this could be 
reduced to 0 additional non-inherited ACLs for many files.
