Anton,

I'm pretty sure it's fine for applications to be ensuring that contexts 
are set right, so the earlier things seem fine to me, though it also 
seems that we would be better served having a SELinux policy written for 
koan, and having that shipped with koan (and possibly installed by the 
RPM -- or providing instructions for it do so). Perhaps we can follow 
that tactic instead?

This would have the benefit of also being able to move koan out of being 
unconfined, which may actually /improve/ security in a few regards 
(except of course koan's there to reinstall your system if you use 
--replace-self so it's a bit illusory to assume that's why we're doing 
it). The policy would need to be very open ended because koan can 
install files with it's --update-files feature and also manipulate grub?

Does that make sense?

--Michael
