I worked at Red Hat when SELinux was made mandatory. Every single customer was hit with 'avc denied'. Having to explain that avc was 'Access Vector Cache' and that 'Access Vector Cache' was part of SELinux, and trying to convince somebody to patch the messages to just say 'selinux denied' was nightmarish.
That said: SELinux is one of the only things that can make shared Docker hosting (ie, where the containers are actually isolated from the host and each other) possible.
