I suppose you meant "thread" and not "threat" :-)

This is intriguing if it would work. I doubt that is possible,
however. SELinux is not "a thing". It is a way of writing apps,
and is partially implemented in the kernel, I believe. It's not
possible simply not to install it. It's built into the kernel
and the apps. One could not install the management tools, but
not SELinux itself, in its current implementation.

Whether a loadable module and different load libraries which
implemented empty stubs would be possible is for others with
more expertise to answer.
