Is it same as attributes work ?
When a type is declared with attribute, we have to check this. When a type is declared with parent type, we have to check this. Both are essentially same, I think.
> If we want to make a change to the inheritance it doesn't change the access Sorry, what does mean 'make a change to the inheritance' ? If it means that changing the permission attached to parent-type make effects to some child-types, 'unknown number of domains/types' is over expression. A permission granted via parent-type is limited to child-types explicitly declared as an inherited type. If it means that changing the relationship between parent and child make effects to some child-types, it is fact that we have to grant all necessary permissions to child-types from scrach. But I think it's redundant and needlessness. This situation is similar trying to declare a new file-type without file_type attributes.
>>Does the example of user_t/user_r/user_ssh_t mean 'inherited domain'? Generally, any methods have strong and weak point. I have no intention to disallow the availability of existing macros. Each methods should be used for own strong point.
