Please turn SELinux off by default

Both of those are true, but the definition of "update" may be a little
confusing. :-)

Sometimes, a package will get rolled back in rawhide between test
releases (i.e. go from version 1.5 to 1.4).  If you are just running
"up2date" or "yum" against rawhide, you won't see that change; you have
to do such updates manually.  Also, if you install FC2t1 (or just FC1)
and continually "up2date/yum" update to rawhide, you may miss changes
that are done by anaconda (or changes in anaconda to default installs).

The graphical boot is an example of something that changed in anaconda
for new installs.  If you just continue to update, you'll never see it
by default; if you do a new install, you'll get it automatically.
SELinux is most likely something similar; it will default to off for
upgrades and on for new installs.  Sometimes there are just too many
things that can go wrong with a change during an upgrade that it is best
to just not try it.
