You have to wonder if those programs had such big problems because they
were badly coded, trying to do things that they shouldn't do.

You see warnings with some programs about it trying to make something
executable that SELinux says shouldn't be necessary.  Suggesting that
the programmer is one those who believes that their software should be
able to do absolutely anything without any restriction.
