I disagree. Things like SELinux/RSBAC/grsecurity+PaX can add a further
defense layer in system hardening.

However, policies need to be well-maintained in order for it
to work smooth for the end user. Maybe, someday SELinux would
work smoothly in a bleeding edge system like FC (does it work
in RHEL?). That time however is not yet.
