We are still using RedHat 7.1 as our base platform. Upgrading to RedHat 7.2 would require us to deal with at least the following: 1) Merging the ext3 filesystem patch since it is not yet supported by the mainstream Linux kernel which is the base for the LSM kernel that is used by SELinux,
2) Updating the modified daemons and utilities to newer base versions where necessary, and
3) Updating the example policy configuration and file_contexts configuration.

So even the next release of SELinux won't support RedHat 7.2.
