When the policy rpm is installed(or updated) it puts the .rpmnew files 
in place. (the date is from when they were built on the build system). 
Then the policy-source package is installed and the files (policy.n and 
file_contexts) are built as part of the install(or update).

 I always delete the .rpmnew file.
