News : SELinux wizzard tool !

I found today in Fedora linux this tool for SELinux with a GUI that allows creating linux security policies.
I will write a little about this system because it is a very good solution.
When I started studying selinux, it was not very well implemented and it seems that the interest of users to be protected is higher.
As you well know, the starting points are network security and data protection and kernel-level intrusions into software.
For those who don't know, SELinux is a system that allows limiting defined resources and allowing other actions or not.
I tested the tool and I can say that it solves only the standard file creation part without the possibility of selecting the SELinux bools variables.
If the one who created this tool will continue to be a very good tool.
It's currently a wizzard interface, I'd call it a Node Editor to allow the assembly of different processing blocks (nodes) into combinations that feed data to each other along connections you specify to produce complex effects.
After completing the steps in the wizard, you will have some default files.
I used the name firefox because the security of the browser is very low at the moment.
Here are some images of this tool:
