Thanks Clayton for these patches. They are definitely interesting, but as you've seen they are also quite big and therefore will take a bit of time to review and get merged. In order to ease the review process, would it be possible to get a short introduction to SELinux, and especially what tools are needed on the host, what tools are needed on the target? I'm especially interested in understanding why/if we need all this Python stuff on the target. So essentially, having an overview of the patch series would be nice: what the various packages are doing (you can skip the basic stuff like ustr), and how they "interact" with each other. Thanks a lot again for this contribution!
