Since SElinux seems to spawned as an intern type project and nothing more, what I object to is it being enabled by default.

IRC most if not all of the features of SELinux (essentially fine-grained access control systems), Were already up and running in version of UNIX [Domain-IX] used/built by Apollo Computer in

                         and earlier. 

Apollo was absorbed by HP a few years later and HP added all their stuff to HP-UX.

And also version of AIX for ES9000 mainframes. On that thing you could completely safely do things like "chown root /usr/bin/vi; chmod 4755 /usr/bin/vi" (or on any other command). Yeah, the process would run as root. But with privileges of user that started it ;-)
