I don't know what direction Jan is 'championing' with regards to the 
/proc interface, but the fact remains that, for the time being at least, 
the /proc interface will get the same treatment - as far as SELinux 
context is concerned - as the Netfilter interface (the point I've made 
in my previous reply). You know about these discussions - you've taken 
part in them on the netfilter mailing list.
