I'm not sure that there's any point except for the most paranoid, given well-configured enforcing selinux.

Security problems come in many guises. One of the most insidious is a security system that causes more problems than the things it purports to protect against.

When you understand why passwords made of thirty completely random alpha/non-alpha characters are a really bad idea in general practice despite having excellent theoretic justifications, you will also understand why SELinux is _also_ a very bad idea in general practice, despite having a good base in theory.

Or to put it another way: "The more they overthink the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain."

In that case, you may want to actually provide a solution/suggestion instead of supposedly poking holes in other peoples suggestions. All you've done is poured hot grease down a cold drain.
