I've had selinux relabeling wait times of an hour or two too, on a
sufficiently large filesystem.
I think this hurts security far more than anything else, because it causes
people to actually _turn off the whole thing_ - so we will have less and less
security in the end.
( To use the obligatory fire door analogy: we should prefer a one inch thick
fire door that opens and closes fully automated to a five inches thick fire
door that people keep always-open with a chair. )
