Understood.  It was my (faulty) assumption that the SELinux
maintainers were more closely monitoring these two mailing lists.

As my recent patches in pursuit of LSPP certification of Linux
affected SELinux in addition to the audit subsystem, I should have
copied the SELinux maintainers to more directly keep them sync'ed with
the patches in evolution through myriad criticism.

My apologies, Stephen, and appreciation for your patience and review
of the submitted code.
