If we compile with SELinux support then the developers need to support 
using SELinux.  I certainly will not be supporting it with any of my 
packages (which includes ~1/4 of the [core] repo...) and I have not 
heard any other developer suggesting they will support it.

In my opinion, SELinux would be better supported in a user provided 
repo.  Work with the guy (whose name I can not remember...) who has done 
an awesome job getting this all done and into the AUR.
