The discussion on removing it was regarding how to remove all of the
selinux bits from an installation, for those that didn't trust just
disabling it.  I'm not one of those advocating that position, but
merely commented on what you'd need to do to truly remove it. :)

I don't think that you can *remove* it from Fedora in any easy way.
Please correct me if I'm wrong about that.
