Ok, (we're going off the point a little here) so you're about tell a
manufacturer who is willing to cooperate with OSS and provide drivers to
shove it where the sun don't shine because of a system which for all
purposes that I can see here does squat?
We want manufacturers to cooperate to get people away from the shit made
by M$ which causes us a lot of grief by being zombified and attacking
linux systems, choking networks and systems, etc. Making life difficult
for them is not a good thing...
Accepting software (or hardware for that matter) which does not meet
standards with respect to security and function is also not a good thing.
Unfortunately today it appears that customer pain is the only leverage
available for to enforce those standards.
I've got my own beefs with SELinux, mostly because I have yet to wrap my
head around trouble shooting the system.
