FWIW -

AppArmor provides at least functional equivalence to SELinux capabilities and is much easier to configure. 
And, AFAIK, it also doesn't create a bunch of extended file attributes.

It's included as part of all the SUSE distributions.

That was a lot of people's first thought as well :) From my
understanding, NSA did this because they had an itch to scratch
internally and decided the process would be improved using the open
bazaar model that makes the kernel. Lately, the bulk of the SELinux code
is written by people outside of the NSA. RedHat is doing a lot to beef
up the configuration so that all processes are covered and securable.
