Well for the most part you should not care.  We do not enforce on SELinux
User, unless you are using a different policy.

unconfined_u means that the file was created by a user running as
unconfined_u.  system_u means it was created by a system_u process or at
install time.

chcon -u system_u -R PATH
Would change all files under PATH to system_u.

restorecon ignores the user field unless you specify -F
