No, checkpolicy is still used if one wants to built a monolithic policy. |

High assurance systems (like government systems, for example) generally |
| 8 |
have static policy since the system doesn't change; thus, building a |
| 9 |
monolithic policy makes sense still. Most other people have more |
| 10 |
dynamic systems that change as you add/remove/upgrade packages and make |
| 11 |
more sense being modular. |

Load_policy is called by semodule, to load the policy into the kernel. |
