Not that I like SELinux per se, but AFAIK the code is open and free, which means that it can be inspected (and it is very likely that it was inspected), so I believe we should do more investigation before asking for the removal of what might be a useful feature to some people. BTW, and I will double-check this when I have time, but I believe it is present in linux-libre. Anyway, just my 2 cents. -- Sergio
