Please don't advise that. You would normally just want to drop to permissive
mode rather than disable so that you don't need to relabel the system
when you turn it back on later.

If you have seen specific problems, there should be solutions to keep using
your system in enforcing mode. If these fall into a couple of cases, it would
be better to document how to fix them, rather than recommending switching
to permissive mode. You can probably get some good advice on dealing with
the problems on the selinux list, if you can't easily figure things out
yourself.
