If You're smart enough to edit /etc/sysconfig/selinux and turn it off
You're not far from decrypting the system.

Anyway that wasn't even my main point.
Whom did that damned combo box upset so much it needed to be thrown
away?

EVERYBODY who used to disable SELinux when the combo-box was there will
STILL disable it. We didn't get ANYTHING from removing that *feature*.
It just makes the lives of some of us harder.
