Hi Steve:

Looks like a lot of good points below. I'm not aware of the status of
the SELinux FAQ; I did think most of that info was moved in to
release-specific documentation. (I haven't been a maintainer of that
FAQ in a long time.)

I'm Cc:ing this to the Fedora Docs team, who manage the depth and
breadth of Fedora technical content - definitely the folks to ask.
