Yes I am not saying those are invalid uses of seclabel. However, to have N
different ways
of doing things is less than ideal. It should be either present and used in
many places, or dead completely.
If we leave support for it, its one more thing a policy author needs to
learn and understand. what are the
problems with computing it, we have the information available to properly
do so. We would likely want to
verify that the links resolve within the rootfs.
