Ideally you would have all of your policy written in CIL or in a high-level language that was designed to leverage CIL.

Unfortunately I/we don't live in an ideal world :( but thanks for the pointers.
 

My DSSP2 policy is a CIL-only policy. In there I also leverage unordered classes, Meaning that for example if you remove or disable the mcstrans module then you automatically also remove or disable  the access vectors that mcstrans manages.

minimal:

standard (my personal policy based on top of minimal):

https://github.com/DefenSec/dssp2-standard/commits/master

DSSP2 does not support enforcement of confidentiality though
