Sorry, nix, the "definition of conspiracy" involves lawbreaking. I see no evidence of crimes
here, and no accusations of crimes, hence no conspiracy and no accusation of conspiracy.
What we do appear to have is a belief in security-by-obscurity, abetted by preference for
convenience and tidiness, and by publicity-shyness, finally coupled with disrespect for
SELinux. None are crimes, but the combined effect on security is no less fortunate.

There's a dictionary definition and a legal definition, and they're
different. The dictionary definition doesn't mention lawbreaking (at least
not in my dictionary).
(And no, nobody's alleged crimes, although some of the allegations might
be read to allege criminal *intent*.)
