Why did you delete the rest of the email, which queried these numbers and 
suggested that the real figure for enablement was much higher?

btw, I asked off-list for a raw SQL query for just F8 systems (which have 
been reporting SELinux stats all along), and the "Enabled=True" value is 
currently 94%.

It's not clear to me what these numbers really mean, and I think it may be 
some time before we are able to really see what's happening (e.g. between 
smolt changes, initial reports, re-reporting, different distro versions 
with different levels of usability, permissive vs. enforcing etc.).
