So if I explicitly put default_role from target it will start inheriting the directory's role?  If so, did that change also fix role_transition to work on file creation? i.e. can I write a rule like:

role_transition user_r tmp_t:file user_r;

So I can get the default_role from source-like behavior on certain types (I'd like to bring back role separations in refpolicy)?
