Is the progress less than expected by this date? Regarding SELinux, it has problems, but the problems are usually dealt with quickly when information can be supplied to pinpoint where the adjustments that need to be made. I find SELinux still to be rather cryptic. It does however ease worries a bit that critical services and processes are protected better than possible on a system where SELinux is not used.
