BTW, the way to support this more dynamically (without having to adjust
policy sources) would be to first get a patch accepted that introduces a
policy boolean and wraps these network-related rules with a conditional
on that boolean, so that you can just do a setsebool -P allow_network=0
or similar to shut off network access in the base policy, and then add
back network access selectively as desired via your own new policy
files.
