Currently only 3 domains can transition to udevadm_t.  2 of those 3 also 
transition to udev_t so they can't use udevadm_t without code changes.  The 
only remaining domain is sysadm_t.

The question is not "do we have to merge the policy because systemd merges 
binaries" but "should we have a separate domain only used for sysadm_t"?
