How is this 'maturing' process supposed to occur when the vast majority of 
general purpose users are not even trying it?  The rawhide testers using it on a 
daily basis cannot possibly invoke all the possible combinations of operations 
that lead to selinux issues, and they don't have all the proprietary software to 
install and find out what happens.  When a user tries it and runs into problems, 
they can turn it off.  When a user never tries it, the problems stay hidden (and 
no thats not a better result).
