I know someone who works on SE Linux, and has published the root password
for anyone to log into his system and try to break it. In that
configuration, even root can have its rights constrained. But you're not
likely to find the administrative tasks related to running an SE Linux
system any less onerous.
I, on the other hand, will welcome SE Linux (with appropriate tools to make
administration reasonable) for the increased system security. The fewer
lines of code that I *must* trust, the happier I am.

ROFL. You are quite right! 20, even 10, years ago I might reasonably trust
most of the people on the net, and on the computer. Not anymore! It has
gone from being an academic and research community where people knew that
there were holes (which how to exploit them) to a playground for everyone
from script kiddies to frat brats to outright criminals. I have enough
issues making sure that the outside code I am paid to run doesn't present a
risk to security.
