You don't understand what is being said, or you haven't read, or both. When I say "get rid of selinux", I mean exactly that; the whole enchilada. Libs, kernel modules, the works. Your approach does in no way achieve that objective. We already *know* how to "disable" or make selinux inactive. That should be starkly apparent from the copious messages in these threads; not sure how you could have missed that. Our point (confirmed experimentally and also painfully) is that the selibs/kmods are going to be there no matter what, requiring a recompile of userspace apps to be independent of them. This was subsequently confirmed by Dr Smalley of the National Security Agency.
