Hi,
I think it's a very good decision - I never understood why selinux dir is directly under /.
Yes, I think this would be a good thing to have in F16.
Note however that this needs a tiny kernel patch to work, to create the mount point under /sys/fs/selinux. This is a trivial patch and has been done for /sys/fs/cgroup before, so I assume this would be easy to get in and just needs a champion to push this forward.
By the way, maybe it would be good to think about the meaning of /srv existance? For seven years FHS requires that this directory exists http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#PURPOSE16A but "The methodology used to name subdirectories of /srv is unspecified as there is currently no consensus on how this should be done" - so even the authors of the standard did not have anything to say about how this directory should be used. Is there a rational reason for the existence of this directory besides FHS conformance?
I think /srv actually makes a lot of sense. Probably not so much on the desktop, but the boundaries are blurry, and I see no reason to set things up differently in this respect between servers and desktops. I see little benefit in removing this directory.
