I just want to distinguish the causalities in the various arguments that 
are being made.  There are many ways to approach this, two of which 
could be:

We want MAC => SELinux is the only proven way to implement MAC => let's 
take the patch

or

SELinux is way too complex => We don't take the patch => Figure out the 
MAC issue some other way
