no chance to disable this

I guess ip6tables too?

These are things related to core system security, so should be enabled.

No, other things not related with SELinux (or something that we could
call "core security subsystem") should be IMHO off by default.

Cron - but should be activated only when cron files exist

It seems to me that the list:
- ssh
- Dbus
- syslog
- iptables
- ip6tables
- auditd
- restorecond
is an absolute minimum to get "working system".

- udev-post ? - is it needed for F15?
- mdmonitor and lvm2-monitor? - are they needed for proper working MD's/LVM's?
- network/Networkmanager ?

Everything else that is not essential for Fedora security, basic
desktop functionality should be IMO off by default.
