Breaking that compatibility will be a problem for us and others at least in the short term and, if other distributions don't adopt the change, a problem in the long term. All of our tools are easily configurable to find the policy source wherever, but this makes it difficult to set defaults. Also, I haven't seen what I thought was a compelling reason to break what has been standard practice for a long time. If you do want to add a shorter symlink, I think that it should be from /etc/security/selinux to /etc/selinux so that in the future /etc/selinux/src and /etc/selinux/modules can work nicely.
