We are preparing an updated SELinux patch set and hope to have it
submitted in the Nov-Dec time frame (finally got some funding to
finish this work).  For this time around, we've been doing some extra
testing in hopes the merge doesn't break things to badly.  There are a
number of RFC items that we'll be posting in the weeks to come
(covering documentation, defconfig examples, handing target skeleton
changes, etc.)
