I did not merge that into refpolicy (yet) because at that point i did not feel comfortable with it. I probably thought it was too early to merge it, and wanted to wait for some of the bugs to be ironed out in fedora first. Some other consolidation changes i am not comfortable with (yet). fortunately those mostly apply to refpolicy-base, and so it is not up to be to decide whether to adopt those or not. There are also some things i plain do not like the way it is implemented now. For example modules that have combinations of domains that might not strictly depend on each other. (one possible example might be rhcs module). I like to keep domains separate as much as possible because that provides flexibility. e.g. I could remove one or a few without having to remove them all. -- This message was distributed to subscribers of the selinux mailing list.
