SELinux is a *great* idea. You know what's the best part? It has
nothing at all to do with encryption. This article is completely
irrelevant to the SELinux discussion.

Now, it *could* be relevant to a discussion about openssl, gnutls and
Mozilla NSS, but unless you haven't been paying attention, you'll
notice that all of those projects (and SELinux) have a very heavy
non-US contributor community.

This is pretty much a perfect example of the value of open-source: no
one is going to be able to sneak something into the upstream code.

Please stop spreading FUD and *STOP TURNING OFF SELINUX*.
