As I mentioned, you want to use 'yum upgrade' to get it to pull in
selinux-policy-strict, I think.  'yum update' doesn't seem to replace
'policy' with 'selinux-policy-strict'.

I expect so.  I have several machines running off of the development
tree, with one using targeted policy and the rest using strict policy.

I don't know; there are file_type_auto_trans() rules in firstboot.te for
user home directories, but I'm not clear as to whether all issues have
been resolved.  useradd really needs a bit of SELinux awareness, IMHO. 
And I seem to recall /etc/passwd and /etc/group being re-written into
the wrong type by firstboot as well during FC2 installs.
