This sounds like it should go to syslog as an error then. Errors do not need to
be audited, just access control decisions and significant changes in state of
security functions like loading policy, disabling selinux, flipping boolean, etc.

I also wonder if there should be a way to cause the system to panic if a policy
loads that has these kind of holes in it?
