Just that it is not lost: SELinux soft support (patched utilities available in
main). There seems to be a repository that mostly works (I'm not in the loop
about currentness though) and it'd is probably an important step forward to
bringing SELinux more into the mainstream.
Russell is probably in a better position to comment on the feasibility though.
