The OP you replied to (jonez) did not mention enabling selinux, only having it.
This may be a minor semantic difference, but I see no reason why the
distribution should produce official spins without selinux *available*... I
agree there is plenty of room for a spin in which it is not enabled by default
(but I would not agree the main desktop spin is one of them). As you've already
mentioned if its that important for someone to build a custom spin with no
selinux bits on it at all, thats not exactly hard for them to do. But is there
honestly a need for Fedora to host and build it? IMO No.
