Speaking of SELinux with FC2, I would like to see FC2 ship a 2.4 kernel with enough SELinux support built in so as to not hose up the system for the installed 2.6 kernel(s).
Personally, I do not plan on utilizing such a kernel, except during the test series of releases. However, I think there may be several people who would want to be able to run both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels during a "transition" period of their choosing.
Thoughts?
Really too much work to be worth the effort. Requires backporting all the EA, ACL, and SELinux code.
All of that backporting has already been done by NSA & friends.
However...Jef is right, though more articulate that I was about why not to do this. I do not want to detract one bit from 2.6 testing *especially* when it comes to SELinux. With that said...I will stop distracting you all from testing 2.6 kernels :-).
