I'm still a little bit confused about the SELinux targeted policy
"development" process versus the actual "roll-out," implementation, and
deployment not only to Fedora on the deskop, but to various distributions of
"CentOS" or commercial installations of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) "in
the cloud" especially on OpenVZ or other shared-kernel virtualization
technologies as the case may be for businesses and end users who might
otherwise benefit from SELinux Mandatory Access Control policies built in to
the Linux kernel.
Most of the development happens in the rawhide github branch and selected commits subsequently go to stable Fedora releases as well as to Centos Stream and RHEL. There is no package difference between various Fedora editions and spins for the same version.
