I just installed F7 on the weekend and ran into a few SELinux issues. 
The troubleshooter helped me greatly.

I will run SELinux on my home machines as it will help prevent my kids 
from doing nasty things to the computer, at least I hope so.  :)

This is an interesting read and one point that seems to be, How do I 
remove all SELinux items.

I look at this from a different point.  After trying it, I hate 
Evolution and I want to remove all traces of that but it is impossible. 
  To many dependencies.  Removing SELinux and related dependencies is no 
different from removing any other application that the system is 
dependent on.

I bet if someone decided to go through the archives, they could come up 
with quite a large list of applications that have a dependency nightmare 
related to them.

If you cannot live with these dependencies, then the only option is to 
move to some system that allows micro configuration beyond what Redhat 
and others offer.  I wouldn't be surprised to see SELinux in more and 
more distro's in the future.
