It broke creating galleries from Videos because of SELinux policies, it
broke all the iOS devices integration, it still breaks fwupd checking
for 8bitdo joypads. I usually run my systems with permissive SELinux,
because it's too much of a pain.

Now that the new systemd with restrictions is in rawhide, I would rather
we started using this functionality, meaning that the developers and
maintainers of those daemons are the ones saying what is correct behaviour
and what isn't.

For example, I recently restricted accesses in both fprintd and iio-sensor-proxy,
which interact with hardware:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libfprint/fprintd/tree/data/fprintd.service.in
https://github.com/hadess/iio-sensor-proxy/blob/master/data/iio-sensor-proxy.service.in

We need to start looking at shipping sandboxed applications. It makes
adding dependencies much less painful, and actually enhances security.

Cheers
