Obviously Red Hat's sales potential for Mike McCarty driven sales is a low number but Red Hat's sales potential for government installations is likely to be a bit higher.

Red Hat is driven by potential sales. I as a user, like you can simply
'disable' SELinux...discussion done.

Informed means that you have systems running both with and without
SELinux so you have a comparative, subjective comparison to provide
something other than the anecdotal whining of those who do not fully
understand the tool sets available to maintain a system employing
SELinux as a strategy.

Thus, yes, I would consider you highly uninformed regarding the
usage/impact/worthiness of SELinux as a security layer.

As for any software design that you may be familiar with in terms of
telephony equipment, technology is changing rapidly and what worked 5
years ago probably isn't very worthy today.
