Agreed. TOMOYO got merged in 2.6.30, so Tetsuo and I anticipated the coming RHEL6 to enable TOMOYO, but only SELinux was chosen. I've posted a comment to the LWN article on RHEL6 beta and got several feedbacks. http://lwn.net/Articles/384347/ Understanding the reason of Red Hat choice, still I think it's a pity to disabling SMACK and and TOMOYO. Most users dare not take time to compile kernel just to try new features and some might have technical difficulties. Hopefully, (at least) Fedora and other distributions change their policies to leave choices for users in the future (like Debian/Ubuntu).
