Glad that we can bring so much fun discussion! For what it is worth, I 
liked the discussion earlier on which separated out the issue into 
trademark policy versus kickstart pool. Given the old and new rules, the 
AOS spin _should_ be allowed to carry the trademark (not the based on 
mark). However, I can see where the board would not want to promote it 
into the kickstart pool, since that is a defacto "best practice", and 
the board may wish to promote SELinux as a best practice.

Let me suggest this. Can we put forth 2 ks files, one enabled and one 
disabled and without the selinux packages (fedora-aos and 
fedora-aos-selinux)? Since, as Jeremy pointed out, we can enforce with 
the most recent tools... but as Jeroen and others have pointed out there 
may be folks who do not want to use selinux to provide security.

Thanks!
