It's hard to recall with all the noise, but at this point in the thread the discussion is about the best way to implement AA. Some have alleged that AA layered on top of SELinux is the best way. I think that is clearly wrong; AA layered on top of SELinux is possible, but would require a bunch of enhancements to SELinux first, and the result would be more complex than the proposed AA patch and have weaker functionality and performance.
