*When it works* I find it interesting to have some reports 
(ie IP bla tried to connect to your computer...) but the whole security 
stack is a mess to stay *polite*- in Mandriva and could not be considered
seriously for companies I think.

Drop this (and by the way, msec too?), and go to the upstream SELinux using
Fedora's approach.

In the past, we *promoted* Tomoyo to please TurboLinux, but is there any 
agreement left with them, any money earned because of this?

Considering the actual situation of Mandriva, I'd say go upstream on this too...
