So this issue has always been there, but:

Because it was merged for 5.10 rather than 5.9, which is a few months
out, so Daniel is looking to see if we can have it in 5.8/5.4 to close
the gap.
I would have to wait for 5.10-rc1 at the earliest, and get the selinux
maintainers ack for this :)
No objections; if the selinux folks feel unhappy with this it'll just
wait for 5.10.
