yum upgrade and selinux-policy-strict

When doing a yum upgrade with selinux-policy-strict installed, the upgrade
failed on a dependency error.

I suspect this is because strict policy is being subsumed into targeted
policy in F8. In which case maybe selinux-policy-targeted should obsolete
selinux-policy-strict going forward in F8.

In my case I had strict, mls and targeted installed and am running targeted,
so I removed strict and mls and retried the upgrade and at least at first
glance it seems to have worked.

I doubt this will bite many other people, but I figured posting it to
fedora-list might make the issue more visible to peole who might have
the problem before they try a yum upgrade, rather than fedora-selinux-list
where they might look after having a problem.
