Description

For several organizations, ACL's are really a key feature for Team folders. We should re-enable this for 35.0.1.

We disabled it to keep things simpler, but it would mean quite some orgs can't use 35's new Team folder concept. I would thus suggest simply turning it on again.

NOTE, quoting @artonge

Also, I can see an issue coming with ACL + .system folder in which we store the Teams data, which means, everybody should be able to read and write to it.

So we have to solve that first. Let's see if that is doable for .1

Research direction

Start by tracing how ACLs interact with Team folders and the .system folder that stores Teams data. Resolve whether the .system folder can remain readable and writable as required, then verify that ACLs are re-enabled without exposing or blocking the Teams data.
