Ok. We have a use case (/etc/mtab) which would be broken without this. 
I'd go ahead and add it.

I'm inclined to try setcon to an ordered list of targets, stopping when 
one works. So far, I think we've got:

1. unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0
2. user_u:system_r:unconfined_t:s0
3. system_u:object_r:unconfined_t:s0

sysadm_t was mentioned on our call yesterday as being the root login 
domain for an MLS policy. What's a good set for MLS?

Thanks,

Matt
