You must be missing the context of the discussion. We
are discussing the design issues of the SELinux and the
concepts of revocation via a security policy change at 
run time as discussed in the Flask papers on line, for 
use in Mr Scroggins book on SELinux. 

As I am no expert on SELinux, barely a neophyte
even, I've suggested that one of the designers discuss
this.

We're not discussing general unix security methods, as
that would be a bit off topic here.
