Christian Heimes <li...@cheimes.de> added the comment:

I have created a new PR that introduces preserve_security_context argument and 
changes the default behavior of copy operations. All copy operations behave now 
similar to "cp -p --preserve=xattr" by default. copy2(src, dst, 
preserve_security_context=True) restores the old, problematic behavior that is 
similar to "cp -p --preserve=xattr,context".

It's not completely equivalent because I decided to omit all attributes in the 
restricted "security" xattr namespace. coreutils only handles 
"security.selinux" on an SELinux enabled system differently.
