I have to be honest and say that I'm not optimistic that this is

While I agree with you, I wish you hadn't brought it up. :) Mostly
because I feel like it may discourage people from wanting to spend time
on it due to desire to focus on things which are likely to make it into
the next release.
The reason I mentioned it is that I was getting a general feeling that
the community at large was going to view not getting the patch into 8.5
as a final straw for working on it. I wanted to be clear that the scope
of doing this right may extend beyond that, but that shouldn't be a
reason to give up on it. I think KaiGai's comments about how it took 3
years to get SELinux similarly integrated into the Linux core rather
then shipping as an add-on is encouraging, in that the way and scope of
how we're struggling with this topic is not something we should consider
extraordinary and therefore a failing. This is not an easy thing to do
for anyone who tries it.
