1: SELinux is hereby invited to grow by giving pain to others, not to me. When it's ready for release to the unsuspecting world, let it be released in a 'default on' state then. Not now. 2: The word 'but' *always* indicates a denial of the statement before the 'but'. What's before the 'but' in this case is not just too important to deny, it's an understatement. SELinux is *broken* if it renders otherwise working applications dysfunctional as shipped. I don't mind being asked to volunteer to alpha/beta test software. What's done is to *compel* me to be a SELinux tester, or to disable it. Everybody who is inclined to help SELinux get ready for The Big Time Release, *please* accept my encouragement to do so.
