Ade, how will the selinux policy be handled in an upgrade scenario ?
If I understand correctly you are dropping custom selinux policies from
dogtag 10 and relying on system policy going forward, so what will keep
the right labels for the old ports in an upgrade scenario ?
Or will the rpm upgrade also change ports ? Is this properly handled on
the ipa part yet ?

Simo.
