I think the problem is noone knows what SE Linux does.  What makes it
better than just Linux?  If there was sufficient interest in SE Linux
then it would get easier to sell training about it. Hell, I take in
those patches of yours for psmisc and procps and I'm still stumped what
it does.

I'd also tie it into some of the current security standards, such as it
is an implementation of the "blah principle" as discussed in the XYZ
security handbook.
