Stabilizing the new selinux profiles
 

Hi everyone,

Back in May, I added new feature/selinux profiles which we would like to
stabilize soon. These were structured to parallel the
selinux/v2refpolicy profiles but with the idea that they could be added
as a feature to any existing profile.

There are no open bugs out against them, so we are clear to stabilize,
but I would like feedback from the community about their use, especially
since the next step might be to deprecate the older profiles. (Don't
panic! It would not happen anytime soon if at all. And you would get
ample warnings.)

Either we haven't hit any bugs with the new profiles because of low
usage or because there just aren't any, so community feedback about
their use and usefulness would be appreciated.

I'm using them on all of my SELinux systems now and haven't
noticed any issues with them, and I have at least one of
each (x86, amd64, and amd64-multilib).

I've been using it on 4 systems for the last month or so.

Okay, I will be marking these profiles stable.

Ok, then I will drop [video_cards_radeon]. What would be the best way to
add USE conditionals to future news items? A new revision with a news
item header "EAPI"?
