This should dissappear with the latest policy.  In strict policy you are 
able to choose which context you log in with, if you have multiple login 
contexts.  With the introduction of MCS, a second choice for 
unconfined_t was introduced, so you are offered a choice 
"root:system_r:unconfined_t:SystemLow-SystemHigh" and 
"root:sysadm_r:unconfined_t:SystemLow-SystemHigh".  In the latest policy 
the second choice has been eliminated.
