Are you capable of scaling to handle a client with thousands of 
widely disparate users and systems?  With what kind of SLA?

Meanwhile, the DoD is several *million* users & systems, and operates in 
environments where stuff working (or not) determine if our people 
(or theirs) die.

Be careful, "overrated" or not, it's still a hard customer requirement.  

Folks go to jail (or get shot!) for trying to do things SELinux that is 
intended to prevent.  The DoD takes data security *very* seriously.
