Do we need to worry about machines that are still running the older
selinux policy? I'm not sure it's a net win if we fix the regression
tests for latest-and-shiniest by breaking them elsewhere. Especially
not if we're going to back-patch into older branches, which are likely
to be getting run on older platforms.
The idea of making the regression test entirely independent of the
system's policy would presumably solve this problem, so I'd kind of
like to see progress on that front.
