I appreciate the explanation. One more question, when SELinux is disabled in the RC, it's not possible to start system-config-selinux. (I get a bunch of messages that end with ValueError: translations not supported on non-MLS machines) As it wasn't possible to do detailed SELinux configuration in the past when SELinux was disabled, I assume that's also a feature? (Hope I said that double negative right.)
