newrole is in policycoreutils-newrole package, which is installed with
strict policy,i.e. selinux-policy-strict.

in normal system, there are only selinux-policy-targeted, which need
not newrole command. before selinux-policy-targeted-3.0, there is
not role structure, so newrole is not necessary.

strict policy is more strict than targeted policy, which will put
normal user inconvenience. most of strict policy is used in special
situation, such as military.
