I see your logic Jesse, and I did think about it. But one might also
say, "how about we just force it down their throats because it's good
medicine for them?" ;) I'm concerned that this is what's happening :)

I think what's needed is a nice little paragraph summarizing what
SELinux is aiming to do, and then the old option of setting permissive
or disabling - users can then set permissive if they prefer to.

Jon.
