Yes we will be updating policy today. SELinux in FC5 is suitable for
desktop.
I have created a yum repository for FC5 on
ftp://people.redhat.com/dwalsh/SELinux/FC5
This has an updated tool chain for SELinux and an updated policy. These
will also be available for FC5 test updates tonight. If everything goes
ok, they will be updated in a few days.
