Right.

No, I don't believe so, and the bug you reference below further supports
my belief about it.

Other than you hacking SELinux support into Lustre (and giving us the
patch of course) I'm not sure what to suggest to/for you.  SELinux is
just not a feature that has bubbled up in priority enough (yet) to have
anyone work on it.

From what I've read, it would seem they are right.  I doubt you will get
anyone that will argue that.  We just don't have the demand/funding (and
hence the manpower) to implement it.
