meta-selinux existed first... no other reason.


The last time I looked at meta-security (well over a year ago), it wasn't 
terribly useful.  It was just a random collection of security-like packages, 
some worked, some didn't.

If it has grown since then to be more of a cohesive set of packages, then 
meta-selinux being part of it may make sense.
