I am not saying the documents are perfect. And I will stipulate that man pages
are an outdated form of documentation which should be abolished, not updated. I
only mentioned man pages because you claimed there aren't any. As I have said
again and again there are a lot of comprehensive documents on the web about
configuration, customization and inner workings of selinux. They are one google
search away.

I am looking at the man page and I don't see any "uppercase cariables" except
the normal man page standard to write command switch arguments in uppercase
(FILE, CONTEXT etc.). What are you refering to?

This is silly. As I have said time and again, the documentation is there, if you
do not read it you will not be able to fix things.

Where exactly did you look?
For kernel parts of selinux just install kernel sources. For the selinux
libraries and utilities yumdownloader --source libselinux. Where exactly did you
look for the sources?
