Sooner or later there WILL be increasing threats to linux and its quite possible

Let alone the fact the having SELinux enabled by default might
discourage (some) virus writers from even trying to target Linux -
reducing the risk even further...
What virus writers? linux desktops are that much more secure that I
really don't see any benefit - just the opposite for a desktop spin of
fodora to have such an invasive security tool as SELinux. On the server
every security measure is welcome.
Are you really saying that there are any actual threats in the wild that
have spread on linux desktops?
I think not, and can't see that being any different in next 5 years. So
keep developing SELinux and test it in the non desktop spins while tools
mature enough to be usable to general linux users on desktop.
