	I have got it, and I do look again again whenever I get any kind 
of notice (usually from a popup that goes away faster than I can read it, 
especially if I'm busy). I also click on that big yellow star on one 
panel whenever I think to.

	One thing I like: it lets me mark a message to be deleted, 
without actually deleting till I tell it to. That means I can check only 
for new ones, when that's what I want.

	In fact, I have even tried to report some of the things it tells 
me must be bugs.

	But I do not, alas!, recall reading any message there that meant 
anything to me. Since this is so, despite the fact that I've been running 
RH/F for nearly ten years, and spending a lot of time online for several 
before that, I concluded that I was likely not alone in my failure to 
spot straight up; so I posted about it, and the length of this thread 
appears to corroborate that.

	I'm sure SELinux will *become* user-friendly, perhaps already in 
F8; the sooner the better. 

	It will come whenever there have been enough shocks of 
recognition of the form "You mean we have to explain *that*?! I thought 
puppies and little innocent children knew that."
