If they don't know what it is, how are they supposed to decide to shut
it off or not?
Perhaps by way of a compromise it could be noted in the installation
docs if you want to disable SELinux you should add "linux selinux=0"
to the boot: line of the install CD. This would make the option
available the same way that xfs/reiserfs/jfs are available. The user
isn't confronted with it, but Linus[1] can then easily disable it at
install time.
The policy has already been fixed
Which policy? The no dialog box in anaconda? I'm not saying it should be
restored. I'm offering a workaround with *no* dialog box, default installs get
SELinux, but users that *know* they don't want SELinux still have an option for
it at install time.
and swfdec isn't installed by default so there is no need to do that.
I didn't mean to drag swfdec into this--I pointed at that bug for this quote
(which I should have made more clear):

"Normally I just turn selinux off"
It is already documented in the SELinux
FAQ now but installation guide can have a reference too.
Well, it would require *slightly* more than just that: like a couple lines in
anaconda to make sure that selinux=0 got passed to grub.conf. That's it though.
Very very unobtrusive.
