Precisely because it interferes with so many other things. If SELinux ever 
gets to the point where it "plays nice" with other things, or at least has 
a nice, easy "ignore this app" sort of thing (like antivirus/anti-spyware 
apps in Windoze) I might reconsider it. Until then, I'm going to disable it 
whenever possible.

I installed fail2ban and SELinux immediately threw up massive errors. I 
coudl understand that much better if it were some 3rd-party app, but 
something out of the default Fedora repos should be able to run w/o 
generating complaints from a security system. Fail2ban, especially, should 
be allowed to run w/o issue, due to the very nature of it.
