Hi Chuck,

I have doubts whether this particular bug warrants an update.  My
understanding from reading the patch is that the reason the acl fails to
work as intended is not because the sense of the acl is inverted, but
because the acl matches no addresses instead of all addresses.

So since denying appears to be the default, it seems that the only case
broken by this is giving all IP addresses access to nut.  Is this ever
really a good idea?  Or have I overlooked some other reason that this
makes sense?

If the only use case this breaks is something which is simply a bad
security policy, I don't see this as justifying pushing a new SRU on its
own and requiring people to re-download the package.
