I was planning to bring this up for discussion.  I could write a rule that says

unconfined_t->user_home_t->unconfined_execmem_t
unconfined_t->user_tmp_t->unconfined_execmem_t


Which would mean that any executables executed from the home dir would execute in execmem_t since we do not know if they are java/mono/or some other lang that requiers execmem/execstack.

This would allow us to stop all executables that are installed on the system to require correct labeling.
