Have you noticed anyone except Red Hat taking it seriously?
I work for Red Hat and have drunk a reasonable amount of the SELinux
koolaid, but I can't help observing that it's had very limited uptake
outside Red Hat. It's not clear that there are many people who find
it a cost-effective solution to their problems. As for the number of
people prepared to write custom policy for it --- which would be
required to use it effectively for almost any PG application ---
I could probably hold a house party for all of them and not break a
sweat serving drinks.
