Because both the Apple and howl mDNSResponders are APSL2, which is an ugly
license that none of us can ship (RH, Debian, Ubuntu, and other distros that
take care with this stuff).

KDE is in Ubuntu main, and Kubuntu is built from that. That means official
support!

SELinux is an extremely complicated new feature, not a "security fix", and
woody was a shipped and supported system. We would not add complete SELinux
support to warty or hoary, either!
