What does experiemntation with yum in a testing mode indicate
with the packageset on your box - dependency trees have an
effectively infinite number of permutations

What is wrong with the article at:
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SELinux
as the timestamps will indicate another CentOS dev team member
pointed out some deficiencies to me in it last night, and I
was working on it for a couple of hours, and then a docs group
member did style cleanups behind me
It is not a completed work, but it is now relevant to CentOS
6
It also covers writing custom rules for local 'in house'
applications
I also know that the CentOS Planet RSS aggregator carried a
rather long teaching rant I wrote a while back

seeming right before I injured my ankle, from the datestamp --
probably a bad karhma reward from the internet dieties and
sprirts for my attitidinal expectation that technical people
do research before asking
yeah -- I am just a sore head -- that's it
