Exactly.

There are third party repositories with software for RHEL that's not supported by Red Hat. Most notably, EPEL, which ships loads of software from Fedora.

Smack and tomoyo are kernel modules, which are not permitted in Fedora. There's another community-maintained repository, RPM Fusion, which would allow it though. If anyone needs tomoyo or smack for RHEL, he's free to add it to RPM Fusion.

The community around Fedora and RPM Fusion is quite supportive, if a packaging experience were a problem.

Considering the people who develop/support SELinux and its history, I think it may be safe to say SELinux is the finest and most trustable MAC implementation in the world. However, I personally believe keeping alternatives is good for Linux users and that is the reason LSM exists. RPM Fusion sounds like a good starting point. Thanks a lot for your suggestions.
