+
+What Changed
+============
+
+The SELinux policy and associated packages have all been bumped to EAPI 8.
+
+POLICY_TYPES has become the USE expand SELINUX_POLICY_TYPES. As such, it may be
+set in package.use now, like any other USE expand. However, it is recommended
+to keep POLICY_TYPES both set, if done so previously, and in sync with the USE
+expand set for sec-policy/selinux-base.
+
+User Action Required
+====================
+
+Some user intervention may be needed due to changes in selinux-policy-2 eclass
+variable names.
+
+If POLICY_TYPES is set, the SELINUX_POLICY_TYPES USE expand should be set to
+match POLICY_TYPES' contents.
+
+Future Changes
+==============
+
+EAPI 7 policy packages will continue to work in the short term whilst the final
+touches for the migration take place. However, overlays should look to migrate
+to EAPI 8 as soon as possible.
