If I understand this...

In development cycles having the "current" best practice policy does make sense
for some,  but not outside the context of "default policy development".

The more general procedure would be to 

 cd /etc/security/selinux/src/policy
 # examine, compare with current, update for local needs, scratch, validate... then
 # iff all is ok
 make load
 make relabel

In fact the "policy" on "policy updates" should be the most
constrained in the pile.
