I would prefer it if this sort of thing was kept to scripts 
like /usr/sbin/selinux-activate from the selinux-basics package.

If you believe that selinux-activate is inadequate in some way then feel free 
to file a bug report (or in the case of Manoj just do an upload to fix it).

In terms of documentation I think that perhaps comments in the 
selinux-activate script would go a long way.  Then the ideal advice would be 
something like "use selinux-activate, but if you want to do it your own 
different way then read the comments and do whatever seems right".

As things change scripts like selinux-activate will change to match.  But we 
will keep them matching the current distribution.

I have no objection to anyone editing config files by hand, but I would prefer 
that when offering advice such things be given a low priority.
