** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  Based on the investigation here 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/charm-keystone/+bug/1880847 it was determined that 
rules from policy files located in the directory specified in the policy_dirs 
option (/etc/<config_dir>/policy.d by default) are not re-applied after the 
rules from the primary policy file is re-applied due to a change.
  
  This leads to scenarios where incorrect rule combinations are active.
  
  Example from the test case in 1880847:
  
  * policy.json gets read with the following rule;
      "identity:list_credentials": "rule:admin_required or user_id:%(user_id)s",
  * rule.yaml from policy.d is read with the following rule;
  {'identity:list_credentials': '!'}
  * policy.json's mtime gets updated (with or without a content change) and 
overrides the rule to be
      "identity:list_credentials": "rule:admin_required or user_id:%(user_id)s",
  * rule.yaml doesn't get reapplied since it hasn't changed.
  
  [Test Case]
- TBD
+ For a particular version of oslo.policy:
+ 
+ * put the attached test (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
+ /python-
+ oslo.policy/+bug/1880959/+attachment/5377753/+files/test_1880959.py)
+ under oslo_policy/tests/test_1880959.py;
+ 
+ * run tox -e cover -- oslo_policy.tests.test_1880959.EnforcerTest;
+ * observe the failure;
+ # ...
+ testtools.matchers._impl.MismatchError: 'role:fakeA' != 'rule:admin'
+ Ran 1 tests in 0.005s (+0.001s)
+ FAILED (id=1, failures=1)
+ 
+ * apply the patch;
+ * run tox -e cover -- oslo_policy.tests.test_1880959.EnforcerTest
+ * observe that the failure is no longer there.
+ 
  
  [Regression Potential]
- TBD
+ The regression potential is low given that there is test coverage in the 
olso.policy unit tests.
