I disagree with wlf's and probe's comments -- here's why (correct me
if I am wrong):
The default ACL occurs only on volume creation. The only people who
create volumes are the system administrators. Usually a system
administrator deposits files/directories in the volume before turning
it over to production use (i.e. if we create a user volume, we give
them a prototype .cshrc/.login and a Mailbox/Printdir/private
subdirectories). After that, we turn what we want off. I really
don't care one way or another, since this is all done by a software
script, but the default as it stands now is just a frob. The usual
case of system:administrators all seems usefull in almost every
possible case (since administrators create volumes) and simple
subdirectories inherit their parent's acls.
