Yes strict policy will work on Fedora Core.  And we are working to make 
transitioning from one policy to the other easier.  
system-config-securitylevel  allows you to transition from one to the 
other by building a relabel into the startup scripts.

We would like to add ftp and a mail agent to targeted policy 
eventually.  We would like to get vsftpd to work like
login in that after the users logs in a new process gets execed under 
the users context or Anonymous FTP context.
The problem with mail agents is that alot of them want to touch the 
users home directories, and as soon as they do
we get into labeling problems around the users home directory which we 
are trying to avoid in targeted policy.
