I never said to remove it, you can add it optionally on Anaconda. Disk

SELinux is very important because it prevents bad codes doing nasty exploitations. The recent case of Portal 2 on Fedora [1] only reinforces the use of SELinux as standard in order to discourage bad practices from third party developers especially
those from gaming industries and to adhere to security policies.

In addition, making it options mean removing one of biggest core features of Fedora as hardened system.
