    SELinux isn’t really meant to be a user space “utility,” for lack of a better term. It’s meant to be an expert focused security framework for those with the expertise to both understand and implement robust security policies. Your average user daily driving Linux or even running a few self hosted services doesn’t really need complex security policies, and is definitely better served by some simpler tools.









  • Also keep in mind that previously there has been a big grey area regarding grace periods when applying for new visas. Technically the day a student visa ends, you have overstayed your visa, even if you have a pending application for a new visa. It has long been State Department policy to allow a grace period for processing of new visa applications. Basically what this means is that a huge percentage of green card holders have technically violated the terms of one or more previous visas according to the letter of the law, even though a previous state department policy would have granted them a sort of amnesty for this while processing a new application. This could be used to revoke green cards en masse if desired.
