So maybe some kind of warning and confirmation request is in order? And perhaps a way of disabling the extended attributes for files under directories from some list?
A warning and confirmation request would be fine, I'd think. For completeness it should apply to both the less-problematic file-modes and the more-problematic file-extended-attributes. A programmatic way should also be OK, though we would need to warn people against doing it casually as it can botch security.
