No, I mean that this is not required in external/libselinux (the Android
fork) today.  So why is it needed here?  The Android fork builds
src/booleans.c for the target.  It doesn't hurt anything to leave the
code there.  The underlying kernel interface via selinuxfs still exists.
 There just won't be any booleans in the policy.
