+Ext2fs SUID on Directory Extension

+  As you might know, the SGID flag has a special function on directories:
+  files within that directories will be owned by the same group that also
+  owns the directory - which is useful for creating directories which are
+  shared between the members of a group.
+
+  But that only makes sense if the umask is set to give full permissions to
+  the group (e.g. 007 or 002). Noone would do that if there is a system-wide
+  'users' group - so some distributions add an extra group for every user
+  which lets the /etc/group file grow very fast and makes the admins life
+  harder ...
+
+  Activating this feture adds a function to the SUID flag on directories,
+  which usually has no function at all:
+
+  If the SUID flag is set for a diectory, all new files in that directory
+  will get the same rights in the group-field as they have in their
+  user-field.  So, if one sets both - SUID and SGID - on a directory, it
+  will also work with a umask like 022 or 077 and there is no more need for
+  an extra group for every user.
+
+  Also, the SUID flag will be set to all subdirectories of a SUID directory
+  (as it is already now with the SGID flag on directories).
