Yeah, that prefix is probably longer than it needs to be.  Since we're
at -rc5 right now, with -rc6 just a few days away, I'll go ahead and
toss out a patch to shorten the names next week.  While I have very
mixed feelings on style/formatting-only patches, things like this
should go into selinux/next at the end of the -rcX cycle so as not to
cause unnecessary conflicts for people making "real" changes :)
