Will Syncthing ever offer ACL support?

I would like to use Syncthing to keep two FreeBSD Hosted Samba4 servers in sync, but it looks like Syncthing flat out doesn’t support ACLs.

Is there any plan to add support for ACLs?

I found a script called syncthing-acl but…

No plans, but never say never. Someone just needs to implement it in a clean manner.
