The current targeted policy in Fedora Core 4 covers 91 deamons many of which has added security to desktop users also.

The release notes provides a list of these

http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc4/#sn-overview

Fedora Core 5 is expected to take this even further with added usability. See the section on security at

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FC5Future

Updates are not supposed to add dependencies. However the audit-libs is a feature of the new 2.6 kernels which SELinux takes advantage of. The audit messages being too noisy is a bug which has already been reported. A errata would fix that.

Documentation on SELinux is currently very detailed. Some of them related to Fedora are

http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc3/
(FC4 FAQ will arrive shortly)

http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-apache-fc3/

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manu...

(RHEL docs mostly apply to Fedora too)
