Why disable SELinux, there should be no need to do that, is there a
particular reason or "just because"?

Correct, rc7 is now stable and it includes that file, there's been
further updates and improvements that will be going out stable soon.

stable MAC address.

Well the support has just landed, I've also been traveling so not had
the time to actually focus on it, we should have it to parity with the
original RPi3 in time for GA freeze in a couple of weeks.
