I think the SELinux team didnt like the idea of yet another policy 
language to do achieve the goal of simplifying policy creation or 
modification.

With the switch to reference policy in FC5, building higher level tools 
to do this is in progress. FC6 has setroubleshoot. See 
http://www.redhat.com/magazine/024oct06/features/fc62/?sc_cid=bcm_edmsept_007

There is another tool system-config-selinux under review currently

So we are making good progress here. If this doesnt require core policy 
changes, maybe this tool can live in extras.

Ps: fedora-selinux list is better suited for such questions.
