Fedora (again) forces me to disable SELinux

Here's what people asking for the removal of SELinux don't seem to understand.


When you remove SELinux, those of use who want to have it essentially
can't have it (yes you can always recompile yourself). When you leave
SELinux in, those of you who don't want it can simply turn it off.

Bad example, but it's like deciding whether or not to put a light bulb
in a room. If there is no light bulb, no one can have light. If there
is one, you can always just switch it off when you don't want light.
