Not over here. I do have someone trying to use the updated server so I'll hopefully hear any comments or concerns back from them. 

On the technical issues above, I don't think Steve wanted the functionality pushed into the library but without either doing that or encapsulating all these types the server will always have to be statically linked against libsepol, which I'd like to avoid. 

I'll change my mind if it comes down to this server needs more information about the level than we can reasonably give via encapsulation.
