I have been running (if possible) SELinux in the enforcing mode 
for couple of months with Rawhide (and F8 where I had almost no 
problems) and although I had to learn how to use audit2allow, and 
it could add spiceness to your life ;-) -- I was able to use my 
computers pretty well.

Just to note, you don't have to ever switch SELinux completely 
off, setting it to the Permissive mode is still much more 
valuable (because you may be able to file bugs when necessary) 
and should as painless as running with selinux=0.
