It is causing problems in other unexpected ways.  We are seeing 
potential conflicts
where a user account gets created say on /var/ and now we end up with 
/var being labeled
home_root_t.  The reason for having home_root_t is so that directories 
that get created under
it will automatically get created with the correct context.  We have 
also seen conflicts where
users create some directories in /home and /home/devel where they could 
conflict.
