The Fedora kernels often have newer versions of the SE Linux code than the 
kernel.org kernels.  If you get the latest Fedora kernel then you have a 
version 17 policy, with a kernel.org 2.6.5 you get version 16.  The latest 
Fedora tools for compiling policy etc support version 15, 16, and 17 
(backwards compatibility with older Fedora kernels) so you shouldn't have any 
problems.
