I was going to say much the same as Kim.
Unusable != Secure. Pretty much grabs it.

Buying into the culture is also a pain.
AppArmor is also um unevenly approached.
I was under the impression that 'Buntu was walking slowly away from it..
but I'm usually wrong about that sort of thing)

Security is not a wallpaper. 
Pasting it on is (self) delusional.
But hey it makes the folks feel better and has some real utility so why
not :)

(sorry my bad and jaded and pre caffeinated)

We do have choice.
You want a secure system drive a toaster.
Else plan on an invasion, even corrosion over time.
