I agree I'm not a "typical user", however some of the things I've had
problems with are being used by typical users - I'm deliberately trying
to avoid examples of copying configuration files and the like :)

I'm all for helping to find and fix policy issues - why do you think I
left it enabled :) I've followed SELinux on and off for about a decade,
though this is the first time I've tried enforcing on a "desktop" box.
And I feel that my previous reasoning for turning it off on my desktops
and laptops is once again justified...unfortunately.

That's a lousy example. I use Linux ACLs and have done since long before
they were upstream and in stock vendor kernels - ACLs are great, and
we're not shipping a complex default set of ACLs anyway :)

Let's compare apples and apples :)
