How sincere is this offer, because I can think of a few use cases that
make a lot of work for anyone wanting to keep SELinux. These are
realistic use cases that people in the real world will want to follow,
that I follow every time I install Fedora. But I have given up
providing feedback because the response is usually more like 'you
shouldn't do that because it doesn't fit in with the SELinux way'
rather than 'we can change SELinux to let you do that securely by XXX'

The use cases in case anyone's interested: Install Picasa3 (which uses
its own wine version*) and install Spotify (for Windows) using the
'native' Wine.

*Google recommends turning off SELinux
