Yes, I agree that under the new definition of the world (that is,
under the restricted terms of SELinux) the lisp implementation is
broken. Under the old definition of the world, the pointless SELinux
"randomized load point" is broken by design, giving only the illusion
of security.

This isn't a point we can debate because there is no middle ground.
You'll always choose "more security" and I'll always choose "getting
work done" so I'll have no more to say on the subject.
