How do these loose rules effect the plethora of 3rd party software out 
there?  What about things like webmin which come in through it's own 
webserver and touch practicaly everything on the system?  What about 
webmail programs.  Hell, what about KDE?  KDE still isn't right is it?  I 
seriously doubt these lofty goals will all be fixed perfectly by May.

Sure, SELinux might be made perfect for a pure FC2 system, but when was the 
last time you ran across a joe home user that was using a 100% pure Red 
Hat Linux system?
