Why do people always pick examples of features with easy user interface when the 
fact with selinux is that the user interface is totally incomprehensible for the 
ordinary home user. I for one disable selinux because I don't want to waste time 
with learning how to use it. And I have now used red hat/fedora since 2002 
without loosing one single e-mail or have suffered from any of the horrors that 
some believe I am risking.

I don't debate the functionality of selinux just the difficulty in using it and 
the apparent lack of relevance.
