I can add this to the 16.04 policy no problem. Adding this to the
networking policy group means that (almost) every app will need to have
its apparmor policy recompiled, which takes a long time and there isn't
a good UX experience for this. We try very hard to avoid these sorts of
changes in a 'normal' OTA and they are usually reserved for major system
updates (eg 14.09 to 15.04 or 15.04 to 16.04) since other changes on the
system necessitate the recompile. Since this change is meant to be for
all apps, there aren't workarounds available to avoid the recompile.

Considering the impact on users for this policy change against the
severity bug, is this an appropriate change for OTA? Should it be
delayed until some future date? (Pat, et al should answer).
