[Sorry for the excessive snipping.]

It's my understanding that the default security configuration will stay 
out of the way and will provide a 'normal' seeming sort of environment. 
I agree with you that the new default should not make it more difficult 
for a normal user to use and manage their computer.

The big bonus of SELinux is that you can then go in and, in a much more 
fine grained manner than is currently possible, adjust how certain 
things are or are not allowed to run.  In the long run, this will help 
make the system -more- useable than currently because you'll be able to 
configure activities that are traditionally 'root only' to be more 
accessible by authenticated (or power) users without opening up 
everything else.
