Hi, I made a PR 192 (https://github.com/SELinuxProject/refpolicy/pull/192) for introducing a new boolean to disable access to raw memory devices (/dev/mem, /dev/kmem, /dev/mergemem, dev/oldmem, /dev/port) because on modern systems, direct access shouldn't be needed anymore. Chris PeBenito asked to propose to this list whether instead of boolean, the access should be removed unconditionally if it's no longer needed. I think boolean could be useful for those systems where this is still needed but still use latest reference policy. -Topi Miettinen
