SELinux is very important because it prevents bad codes doing nasty
exploitations. The recent case of Portal 2 on Fedora [1]
only reinforces the use of SELinux as standard in order to discourage
bad practices from third party developers especially
those from gaming industries and to adhere to security policies.
In addition, making it options mean removing one of biggest core
features of Fedora as hardened system.
