There are 3 security models in which SELinux can work -- TE, RBAC and MLS.

And there are 6 types of SELinux policies --

targeted, mls, mcs, standard, strict or minimum.

Each security model requires it's own set of policies and the policies 
can be 1 of the 6 types. So can all the 3 security modles and 6 types be 
intermixed? Won't there be conflicts like with MLS and RBAC?
