Well, does it make sense to add column-level privileges just for
SE-Linux? I don't think that is wise. My logic is to build the lower
levels first (SQL), then the higher levels. If that was done when the
issue was originally suggested months ago it would be done but now. I
don't see the rush to do things backwards just to get SE-Linux
capability in 8.4, but of course that is just my opinion.
