I guess that won't be happening soon.

When an administrative interface is granted to a domain/role (like
ldap_admin) then a role transition to system_r is automatically granted
when a transition occurs on the domain-specific initrc script (like
slapd_initrc_exec_t). In case of integrated run_init support, this would
create a context root:system_r:run_init_t, which is invalid.

Removing the role transition in all administrative interfaces is imo a no-go
as that would mean lots of work and maintenance.

Oh well, it was fun to try...
