selinux errors on rawhide despite update

I have updated this machine running rawhide and I still see many of these.  Did they not get fixed with the new selinux-policy?

Summary
    SELinux is preventing python (cupsd_config_t) "read" to 003 (usb_device_t).

Detailed Description
    SELinux denied access requested by python. It is not expected that this
    access is required by python and this access may signal an intrusion
    attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of
    the application is causing it to require additional access.

Allowing Access
    Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials.  You could try to
    restore the default system file context for 003, restorecon -v 003 If this
    does not work, there is currently no automatic way to allow this access.
    Instead,  you can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see
    http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385 Or you can disable
    SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not
    recommended. Please file a http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi
    against this package.

Might not the new policy have been updated?

Thanks,
