Feel free to go ahead. My SELinux test box was recently reconfigured so
starting Sage is no longer broken. I hadn't had the time to set up another
testbox to create some policies and since I am at SD7 I won't be able to
work on it until Monday or so.

Sure, that kind of policy would be very welcome and we are highly
motivated to integrate your policies ASAP :)

Nope, my plan was just to create a bunch of scripts to set the proper
attributes specific to Centos/RHEL, so having something generic would be
great.
