We've seen SELINUX systems where people simply get to the point that it doesn't work; As a measure, the SELINUX stuff is disabled. This is where AppArmor comes to mind. It's easier, configs are readable for most people.

I am not argueing about SELINUX vs whatever. Just a point that's backed by real life.
