Have you seen a clear reason why they should NOT have the same granularity?
I realize that SELinux has become quite popular and that a lot of
people use it - but certainly not everyone. There might be some parts
of the functionality that are not really severable, and if that is the
case, fine. But I think there should be some consideration of which
parts can be usefully exposed via SQL and which can't. If the parts
that can be are independently useful, then I think they should be
available, but ultimately that's a judgment call and people may come
to different conclusions.
