Do I find SELinux useful? Don't know, to the best of my knowledge I have 
never had an incident  that "needed" SELinux.  Even though I have not 
needed it I always run with it as an extra insurance, the minor 
inconveniences of the occasional tweak to allow some applications etc 
that I do want to run is a small price to pay for the peace of mind that 
I am less vulnerable  than I might be to security violations.   The 
troule shooter in F 7 helps fix any admin matters that do arise, always 
been able to follow their instructions to fix the issue quickly.
