I'm curious what prompted this change?  Prompting the user for the
context they want to login with, for local logins, has been there for as
long as I've used SELinux (though thats only since March).  That is, in
the older /bin/login patches.

The problem was that different login programs worked differently. Login had this ability, sshd did not. Some versions of [xg]dm had it but others didn't and it was very complicated code withing these login programs. We just decided to simplify it and not expose this to the Users.
