Feel free to contribute! From that site: "If there is anyone out there who wants to wade through what should be set for selinux to be enabled and still have Xen working, please email me!"
He's competent enough to build packages he should be competent enough to know how to manipulate selinux :) This "disable selinux" crap I continue to see everywhere is really just depressing. There are ample tools and guidelines on how to properly manage the selinux sub-system, heck, most of it is just cut-and-paste for the majority of users these days.
Granted, this may be a corner case issue considering it's a non-stock kernel, thus taking a bit more effort, but there is no technical reason why it would not be possible to run Xen on an selinux-enabled platform; one can use the el5 policies as a start if necessary, changing required bits here and there until it's functioning properly on el6.
He's not forcing anyone to use his packages, simply sharing the work he has done, which I for one appreciate. Somewhat more constructive than your instructions on how to post to mailing lists.
You're right, he's not. Which is why I posted the url to the official CentOS packages.
Additionally, Chris, I didn't 'instruct' you to do anything, I asked, nicely, not to top-post. Item 2 under CentOS mailing list quidelines:

You are of course free to do what you want, but there are guidelines for a reason.
