Yes we are trying to clean this up in a new gui, and some changes in policy.
Hopefully we can at least start sorting the list by matching the namespace.
IE If the source is httpd_t Then the list should start with httpd_* items first.
We can also put some heuristics in such that if the type is var_log_t then
suggest httpd_log_t. But as always patches welcome... :^)
