It's not a very strong opinion. I think it would be fine without the
first person style.

Fair point. I can imagine a scenario when I'm stuck on a SELinux system
without an internet connection.

Hmm. Could it be because /etc/systemd/system/guix-daemon.service refers
to /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix/bin/guix-daemon?

It could also be an artifact from my ancient experiments with Guix and
SELinux on this system. Perhaps we should test on a "clean" system to
verify, I can do that next week.

Awesome, thanks a lot!
Can you "squash" the relevant changes from my patch and send a new patch
when you are done?
As a side note, I've seen a couple other audit messages from
guix-daemon, although though they don't seem to cause a problem in
practice.
type=AVC msg=audit(1605189801.627:8637388): avc: denied { read } for pid=2312896 comm="guix-daemon" path="socket:[74336318]" dev="sockfs" ino=74336318 scontext=system_u:system_r:guix_daemon.guix_daemon_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tclass=unix_stream_socket permissive=0

Not sure what that's about.
