For QE purposes: don't forget that neverallow* rules used to be mentioned by 2 programs.

# sesearch --help | grep never
                [--dontauditxperm] [--neverallow] [--neverallowxperm] [-T]
  --neverallow          Search neverallow rules.
  --neverallowxperm     Search neverallowxperm rules.
# seinfo | grep -i never
  Allow:             63129    Neverallow:            0
  Allowxperm:            0    Neverallowxperm:       0
