So why aren't you using Gentoo, where you get to customise and optimise everything? Why aren't you using text modes and avoiding the bloat of graphics? Do you even know when you're being tacitly saved from confusion and hassle - or, in the case of SELinux, from actual bugs - by things 'just working' because of this "infective" bloat?
Sadly, it would seem you're too busy using pejoratives.
Have fun,
Paul

a. we don't use graphics
b. we don't enable or compile selinux in kernel (but the selinux libs are still statically linked in to the other rpms pointlessly) c. if starting project today, gentoo would get consideration. fedora only picked for a certain reason not used today. d. we do rm -rf /usr/share/locale/* at postinstall to save space.
