Will there be any way to determine which policy is currently active? Also, I
am concerned that the well known location for the policy source
(/etc/security/selinux/src/policy/) will go away and break tools that expect
it. All of our tools are configurable, of course, but this change will make
it hard to provide good configuration defaults. What about making
/etc/security/selinux/src/policy a symlink to the currently active policy?
