Yes, FC3 SELinux is now well documented. FC4's SELinux is not really 
different from FC3. However with FC5, MCS and MLS stuffs might be 
implemented. It seems FC5 SELinux will have reference-policy instead of 
targeted-policy. 
(https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-selinux-list/2005-November/msg00111.html) 
Existing documents won't be able to cope with FC5 or FC6 SELinux. People 
will be looking Fedora for documentation again.

Fedora is on breeding edge and fedora's documentation really helps 
people adopt new technologies. Technology might be mature when Fedora 
implement the technology, but it often lacks documentation. As long as 
Fedora is the distribution which introduce new technologies to mass, 
fedora documentation's importance will never go away.
