I read the FAQ. You still haven't provided an example of precisely what
I could suffer by not using SEL. Controlling CGI isn't an example, it's
just an FAQ topic.

Everything that you do on a server is a trade off in one form or
another. In this case, it's resources and complexity for greater
security. Until I fully understand the benefit, I won't endure the
costs. Ultimately, I'll get a handle on SELinux and then make an
INFORMED decision. I'm certainly not motivated to use something because
it's there or because someone else thinks that I should.
