Sorry, the subject line was just my typo.
I'd like to agree with Yeb's opinion, because the reason why we determined
libselinux-2.0.93 as least requirement is the implementation in v9.1 used
a function that was supported in 2.0.93 due to omission of userspace avc
feature from the initial version to minimize patch size.
If we included userspace avc feature from the beginning, it would require
libselinux-2.0.99.
Thanks,
