If you have the latest updates and you have relabelled your filesystem 
and it still has problems filing bug reports against SELinux for each of 
these issues would make sure that the relevant developers dont miss out 
the problem. Yes that can be a bother but it requires discussion you can 
post to fedora-selinux list about it. Part of the development process of 
ensuring that we dont end up with a broken release.
