No, its actually something else

The issue is that SE Linux AVCs travel a different path. When an AVC denial 
occurs and there is not a dontaudit associated with it, it sends the event 
straight to the netlink queue. To suppress an AVC, you would need to make a 
change to SE Linux policy. The SE Linux folks wanted to make sure there was no 
way to suppress an AVC without explicitly stating so in policy.
