No objection to the above, although it makes his updating code for
enforce/checkreqprot a bit uglier.

Actually, I'm not clear it will be parsed or interpreted by the
security module(s).  I think he is just fetching it and then doing a
simple comparison to check for inconsistencies between clients and the
server, and optionally admins/users can read it and interpret it as
they see fit.

That seems a bit verbose, particularly the duplicated selinux/ bit.
