Just shows how little you know about the Unix family.
AIX had ACLs about the same time, if not earlier than HP-UX
(for JFS and not just for HFS). I'm pretty sure Tru64 and modern
versions of Solaris have them too. 
Unix filesystems went from simple UFS to modern JFS/LVM,
from 2GB max file/system sizes to 64bit entities
(not to be confused with 64bit CPU address space).
Quite a bit of changes, and all of them came in due time,
unlike VMS.
