Yes to both.

The point is *I shouldn't have to*. A stable system should not have 
breakages from SELinux where 'for some reason' a directory tree got 
mislabeled during updates. And yet it does. I enable SELinux on only a 
handful of my systems - and most of those systems acquire SELinux 
related problems at least once ever year or two just from normal updates.

While SELinux continues to do stuff like this, it will remain disabled 
on the vast majority of my (and many other people's) systems.
