I think with SELinux the workaround of disabling it is so easy to do
that it tends to result in a lack of bug reports. Perhaps if it wasn't
so easy to turn it off, the problems would get fixed rather than worked
around.

IMHO SELinux in FC5 is far better than it was in FC4, where I felt that
each new update tended to break things that were working before. In FC5,
things are clearly improving with the updates.
