Or, you know, we might actually SOLVE this issue once and for all, by 
dropping SELinux.

SELinux by design keeps second-guessing what programs may want to do, which 
necessarily breaks when things change. (Only the NSA can think that 
duplicating knowledge about ALL programs in the distribution in a single 
central database (single point of failure) can ever scale.) And since 
patronizing other programs is the only "feature" SELinux is even DESIGNED to 
provide, we are best off dropping that DoS tool entirely.
