Not entirely.  They can eliminate the need for text relocations on their
shared objects, thereby avoiding the need to mark their shared objects
with texrel_shlib_t in the policy and reducing the resulting security
risk.

Ultimately, they will be able to ship a "binary policy module" for their
package that includes an explicit set of dependency requirements on what
the base policy must provide.  Binary policy module support was
developed by Tresys Technology (www.tresys.com/selinux) and is planned
to be upstreamed in June, for eventual inclusion in FC5/devel.
