I guess Dominic beat me to it.  Currently the allow_user booleans do not effect

guest_u or xguest_u, because I want them as locked down as possible.

The way to adjust their policy is through custom policy rules, or you could
generate a new user type using sepolicy generate (selinux-polgengui)
guest_mysql_u.
