Historically (although it's gotten better), the SELinux net was
erected by blocking off all the ladders to the trapeze. This is great
for safety of bystanders and keeping the clowns from making the
trapeze slippery with cream pies, but made it hard to actually
entertain the crowd. And entertaining the crowd is what a circus gets
paid for.
