This is a meta-bug to track support for xattrs and SELinux labels. Background: Not all applications support extended attributes and/or SELinux security contexts. This is causing system breakage and the disabling of SELinux.

Does this really need to remain open? I would think that things at this point would just be one-off 'regular' bugs.
Sounds fine with me. I think in the future we might want to look at using labels in more of the infrastructure. Handling labeled data within mail infrastructure for example. So allowing tools like openoffice and email clients to set labels on files would be kind of cool. But making sure tools like puppet and system management tool of the day (func?) respect labels, are really bugs at this poing.
