Hello Daniel,
Thanks a lot for this.

This commit message is somewhat unorthodox. :-)
Perhaps it can be shortened to:
* etc/guix-daemon.cil.in (guix_daemon): Specify more permissions for
guix-daemon to account for daemon updates and newer SELinux.

I'm not sure about the second paragraph. It's mainly a rehash of the
blog post, no? And there are many other ways to go about
troubleshooting SELinux (I did not use ausearch at all).
Anyway! I tried it on RHEL8, and had to do a few more tweaks to get it
working:

Can you test these additional changes on Fedora?
With this, I no longer have to go through 'guix pack' and 'podman' to
run Guix packages on my RHEL workstation! :-)
Also, is it OK to add you to the list of contributors at the top of the
file with this name and address?
Thanks! It's really great to get this in before 1.2.0.
