I am pretty sure all files inside of a home dir should carry the same
selinux label, identifying it as a user's file. Because everything
else makes home directories unportable, because local system policy
will leak into the homedirs. Moreover SELinux policy even if it wanted
couldn#t really express fine-grained app policy, since it's a
centralized thing, and we live in a world where apps are built and
distributed outside fedora, with flatpak and stuff. The assumption
that every app comes via fedora, and hence can come with selinux
database/policy also shipped by fedora to match it is just unrealistic
in today's world.

There's an upstream issue about all this:

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/30580

It's kinda stuck, because the overlap of folks deeply interested in
homed and deeply interested in selinux is kinda small to non-existing.

Anyway, if all people want is to stick another "relabel" this call
after we create a new homedir, i am fine with that, but this would be
not be a full fix in my eyes.
