There is no plan to rewrite refpolicy in CIL.  Ideally, a refpolicy
high-level language and compiler will be created.  There is a
prototype[1], but it compiles the current m4-structured language.  In
the long run, it would be better to morph the language slightly to have
proper constructs, eliminating the m4-isms we have now.
