> Currently the visibility of the [aclMatch|https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/core/src/main/scala/kafka/security/auth/SimpleAclAuthorizer.scala#L146] function in the SimpleAclAuthorizer class is set to private, thus prohibiting subclasses from overriding this method. I think this was originally done as this function is not supposed to be part of the public Api of this class, which makes sense.
> However when creating a custom authorizer this would be a very useful method to override, as it allows to reuse a large amount of boilerplate code around loading and applying ACLs and simply changing the way that ACLs are matched.
> Could we change the visibility of this method to protected, thus still keeping it out of the public interface but allowing for subclasses to override it?
