Anybody who says "I want to run Fedora without SELINUX because I do my own security development" is by *definition* not relevant to the whole feature.
Don't mistake the example for the feature. the SELINUX thing is just an example. As Alan Cox commented, taking a distro config and disabling one thing is a common troubleshooting request from kernel developers.
It's still irrelevant: - if a user chooses a distro config it means that he is using that distro. Disabling an essential component of the distro config, even if a kernel developer asks for it, will likely break that distro and is thus a dumb thing to do. (the typical user will also be unlikely to be *able* to edit a .config and make sure it works.) - Furthermore, there's *already* over ten thousand select's in our Kconfig's, and it's already hard at times to disable dependent options. - I've been using what Linus suggested for many years via private patches to do bootable randconfig testing and the concept works just fine - enabling a distro specific minconfig is absolutely useful, I'm glad it's being pursued upstream as well... So what you are arguing about is IMO irrelevant, it is immaterial to the problem at hand and the concept works just fine in practice.
