some stranger in Illinois thinks my job should be!
SELinux is my alligator, not my swamp.
CentOS4 allowed me to switch the thing off at install. Done.
When SELinux is my job, I'll figure it out.
Until then, I don't care who I irk, disappoint, or perturb
by switching it off.

I disagree with this. The main reason I dislike SELinux is the way I was
introduced to it.
I wasted quite a bit of time on an issue before I even knew what SELinux
was because it was turned on by default on an FC2 machine. I was asked
by another admin to use FC2 on a particular job, and I never saw
SELinux.
The turning it on by default irked me. Superuser power as a trip is just
silly. What's the difference?
All I want is enough power to do my job.
