Unfortunately "in the future" is not very exact. Administrative operations
like changing ACL or even use a different IMAP server software could never
be eliminated.
But no create permission in ACL could mean
- "you are not allowed to create a subfolder, but others are" -> \NoChildren
or
- "nobody is allowed to create subfolders" -> \Noinferiors
(with administrative changes like changing ACLs excluded here)
I don't know if it is possible to differentiate between these two cases
within ACL plugin at this time.
