SELinux has been around many years now.  Are there any objective metrics we can 
observe instead of having people rant about their own opinions here?

Things like:
    Number of bugs posted against SELinux itself.
    Measured hours of effort to learn the system well.
    Ratio of security breeches expected on systems that do/don't include SELinux.
    Lists of 3rd party apps that do/don't work with SELinux.

Without those, it's all handwaving and if there aren't any real metrics it's 
fair to assume the value isn't worth the trouble you can expect.
