+        - Disable reloading of the SELinux policy after making change to a domain's permissive setting.
+        - The default is C(no), which causes policy to be reloaded when a domain changes state.
+        - Reloading the policy does not work on older versions of the C(policycoreutils-python) library, for example in EL 6."
