I personally think they're fat enough as it is - by default they occupy about 3% of the disk (though I generally only create about 1/2 the default number). Doubling the size of the inode would probably be reasonable if some of the space was available for storing small files. I presume you're thinking of additional space to store ACLs. Given that ACL's are optional, vary widely in side and can reasonably be shared, I'd prefer to see them stored outside the inode.
