Maybe so, but as developers, we should never turn it off.
How can we expect our users to use selinux if we disable it
ourselves ?  I don't recall ever waiting more than 24hrs for
Dan to look into an issue I've had with SELinux policy,
so there really shouldn't be an excuse.

We really need some infrastructure in the updates system that
applies an update, runs it, and disallows the update being
pushed live if AVC's get generated.
