Yes, that doesn't count since a) it wasn't the final version of the
patch which changed significantly afterward and b) even it had been the
final version, there was no acked-by or reviewed-by from a selinux
maintainer, just some suggestions. A non-trivial patch that modifies
security/selinux needs to be at least acked by a selinux maintainer and
often should go through the upstream selinux maintainer (Paul).
