I'm still a little bit confused about the SELinux targeted policy 
"development" process versus the actual "roll-out," implementation, and 
deployment not only to Fedora on the deskop, but to various distributions of 
"CentOS" or commercial installations of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) "in 
the cloud" especially on OpenVZ or other shared-kernel virtualization 
technologies as the case may be for businesses and end users who might 
otherwise benefit from SELinux Mandatory Access Control policies built in to 
the Linux kernel.
