Not certain about your point... but if you meant SELinux should be turned off, then you got it wrong, I think. SELinux is more like your Firewall. You don't turn your firewall off because some software you are trying to use does not work!

I agree with you. SELinux should be on by default much like a firewall, but I guess I was referring to packages not shipping selinux policies leaving the user in limbo about why the software which is documented to work out of the box does not.
