Isn't SELinux an actual distro from NSA and NOT just an add-on to any other distro?  Can't imagine folks I know at NSA even
considering a distro that isn't within their audit schemes for clean releases.  This is not just for "security", but also
operational integrity.  I think their concern is also like a govt flight safety consideration (etc) for SELinux distros, since
SELinux is the thing for many DoD contracts for flyable and fieldable things these days.
