There is a change to the kernel that is making its way upstream that
should allow us to fix the feature.

Basically right now, a file to libaudit forces us to turn off the
ability for the sandboxed apps to run setuid programs, this also causes
the kernel to prevent SELinux from execute/transition.  We have a patch
to the kernel that will allow processes to execute/transition to a
different domain even if setuid is blocked, IFF the app is allowed to
transition internally.

Once this is enabled we can change the policy to allow transitioning to
work again.
