It's not consumed by Fedora or openSUSE at all. Fedora and openSUSE
follow this instead:
https://github.com/fedora-selinux/selinux-policy
As far as I know, there has been no reconciliation between the two
happening anytime in the recent past and it's unlikely to happen
anytime soon.
Maybe not the right place to ask ... but what is the purpose and goal of
the SELinux refpolicy project if several of the larger Linux
distributions doesn't pay attention to it?
I kinda would expect that lots of the SELinux policy details in Fedora
would be pretty much the same challenges in other distributions as well.
