I don't agree that this was ever a decision we consciously made; the previous bug report never mentioned what umask we would change it to, it only says that world-writable is incorrect.

But I think that files on the ESP should be world-readable by default, so umask=0077 is also wrong.

The ideal settings for this vfat filesystem would be dmask=0022,fmask=0133 for traversable directories and files that are world-readable but executable by no one.
