I don't mean to dig at selinux, which I understand enough about to see is very 
worthwhile for everyone as you say (and indeed I elsewhere said I think it 
will be great).  I was musing about tensions between the "community" and 
commercial drivers on Fedora.

I guess if SuSE had it (news to me) then Redhat pretty much had to go all out 
for it.

Best of luck with it and thanks for your work on it.
