FWIW, in Fedora-land I see:

F16: 2.1.6 (F16 will go out of support next month)
F17: 2.1.10 (F17 has been stable for 6+ months)
F18: 2.1.12 (F18 just went stable)

While requiring 2.1.10 today might be thought a tad leading-edge,
will that still be true by the time we ship 9.3?

Or maybe we should just be punting this patch to 9.4, by which time the
version requirement should surely not be an issue within the community
that's likely to be using selinux at all. Unless I missed a previous
submission, this is a significant feature patch that did not show up in
time for CF3, which means that we should not be considering it at all
for 9.3 according to the rules that were agreed to in Ottawa last May.
