Thank you for the link you posted. I went through most of the discussion. This 
quote is what strikes me most :
https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/2014-March/035658.html

Everything has already been discussed. The global conclusions seem to be :

Most users don't need SELinux/AppArmor or anything that protects them from 
themselves;
Implementing these features in the kernel may lead to more trouble than ease;
Arch kernel's devs and other devs are not ready for the tremendous tasks 
following such a decision;
These features can be compiled in personal kernels if required;
Arch devs do that on a voluntary basis and can't respond to all requests.

For me, I'm happy with Arch as it is, I'm happy the previous discussion led to 
the 'no need' conclusion, and I just want to voice I wish it goes on this way.

Regards.
