Hi,
no, I am serious about the "bad thing"; obligatory smiley here :-) .
I have watched carefully all SELinux-related threads, searched Google for
historical and current opinions, also expressed my ad hoc opinions here.
I realized that this software is rejected by many, defended by others.
A too important software to be so controversial in the space of system security.
I think the more profound question has to be asked - does it serve the Linux
community (professional and amateur) ?
