If you feel that some information is missing in the Fedora SELinux FAQ,
file a bug report with the details.  

Text of a mailing list message with enough information and a link to the
thread in the archives will work.  I'm trying to keep up with the
traffic here and on fedora-selinux-list, but it's easy for something
useful to slip below the radar for a day or two.

Here is the tracker bug, if you are interested in what's in the queue
for inclusion:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/showdependencytree.cgi?id=118757

Use the template linked from the FAQ, which I'll include below[1] but
beware it's a big'un.
