You run it in Permissive mode, you deal with the exceptions as they arise while the software is running in its normal environment and while its running normally using any of the documented methods. You thoroughly test the application in such a manner and once you have ironed out any and all issues by putting together a custom policy, setting the right SElinux booleans, etc, you then enable Enforcing mode. There is really no reason that SElinux should have a negative impact on your application or server if you use Permissive first.You forgot "take on becoming the SELinux integration manager for that project with every single update".
Every single update? Update of what?
Marko,
You have completely missed his point. Every update of the application *his company* is writing to run on those CentOS servers. This has nothing to do with RedHat, CentOS, or any other FLOSS package. It is a management problem within his employer's organization. If the managers don't care to require the application be SE compliant, he will never be able to get the developers to deal with those issues. So for him it is already a lost battle.
