Developing policies isn't a good way to start learning SELinux. It is about |

Understanding SELinux and its denials is needed before you can build |
| 15 |
policies. Otherwise your policy will most likely not pass the mustard... |

probably other applications or services that we offer that still do not have |
| 20 |

| 21 |
there are several thousand packages in our tree... |
