Oh, there's Android users for this?  The users I was aware of were
non-Android.  Though even so I'd have thought that given that SELinux is
a superset of Unix file permissions it ought to be sufficient to be able
to use them.  I'd been thinking people were suggesting SELinux as a
replacement for file permissions, using the single file and the greater
capabilities of SELinux.
