[PLUG] RHEL selinux-policy packages

While setting up email on a CentOS 6.3 machine, I encountered a
problem with dovecot access to maildir directories.  It seems that I'm
running into this Redhat bug, "selinux policy prevents dovecot domains
access to mail_home_rw_t (Maildir)".

Today I decided to build my own selinux-policy package to work around
the problem.  However, I also stumbled onto what appears to be the
latest and greatest RHEL 6 policy package from Redhat.

Does anyone have an opinion as to whether I should use my own modified
package, or the new but not released one from Redhat?  There is, of
course, a third, knee-jerk option, which would be to disable selinux,
but I'm trying to avoid that.

thanks,
galen
