The Ubuntu team is proud to announce version 7.04 of the Ubuntu family of distributions (more info here and here). Ubuntu 7.04 is also the basis for new 7.04 releases of Kubuntu (screenshots) and Edubuntu. Ubuntu 7.04 will be supported for 18 months on both desktops and servers. Here is a review of Feisty Fawn, and it also seems that Michael Dell has it installed too. Get it while it's hot.

Great. That would mean they are compiled with SELinux libs.
Is there any easy tools for configuring policy settings and help troubleshooting problems due to strict policies?
Now Ubuntu and it's packages just needs all the other security features I've mentioned now and in the past.
Show these to your devs:

I'll be waiting for 7.10.

Fedora is really the test ground for such technology, Ubuntu really offers very little security. I believe this is your point however, and you were simply being sarcastic.
Most Fedora users still believe that the fix for SELinux or speed issues is to turn off SELinux though.
Also, Ubuntu includes many drivers for web cams and other hardware that desktop users want, so it really is probably a better option for them.

Yes, it has SELinux, and all packages (including the "universe" ones) are supported and potentially fixed when you make a bug report.
