Rather than "needless to say", I think this is worth elaborating on. Knowing how companies like NEC and their customers see SELinux and SE-PgSQL help their database projects would probably be one of the most compelling stories for getting broader support for the feature. Before googling "nec software" after seeing you mention this, I knew very little about NEC's software business. I can read some about NEC's software/database business for NEC North America's[1] and NEC Global Services[2] but imagine globally there's even more to it than that. Understanding how SE-PgSQL (and presumably SE-Linux) helps build a better SaaS/Cloud computing platform would probably help many people support this feature more. The cloud computing platforms I see more are ones that isolate a user's data either at a higher application layer (like salesforce) or a lower virtual machine layer (like amazon's elastic cloud). Is a vision of SE-PgSQL to help cloud computing companies sell customers access to a single underlying postgres instance, and share selected data between each other at a row level? Just curious.
