Hi Cathy,
Congratulations on achieving your goal !
My test TW system which was manually migrated to SELinux has worked well and only had one package issue which has been fixed.
When you said existing installations will *not* be migrated, did you mean will *never* be migrated unless we manually migrate them OR did you just mean that nothing is in place to migrate them right now ?
We will never say never, nobody knows what will happen in 10 years. Currently there are no plans to do so.
