SELinux Policy Administration seems like a very specialized area of expertise that many or even most organizations are unlikely to need. Why require it for RHCSS?
The needs of the vast majority of organizations using Red Hat Enterprise Linux are more than met by the SELinux Targeted Policy that is the default in Red Hat Enterprise Linux. It would be fair to describe SELinux Policy Administration as a specialized skill. However, RHCSS means Red Hat Certified Security Specialist, not Red Hat Certified Security Generalist! Yes — this is highly specialized knowledge and hence highly valuable when it is required. We believe that many organizations that might not see a need today for specialized SELinux policies are likely to see those needs in the future, and we believe that qualified professionals who understand this subject matter can help them meet those needs. We want an RHCSS to be someone who looks ahead.
