As a reminder, the SELinux developers list is an upstream list for the
discussion and development of SELinux; it is not a distro specific
list.  While the general topic of security certifications such as
Common Criteria can be on-topic for this list, distro specific
security certifications are likely best discussed with the individual
distro/vendor.

Last I checked, a CC eval of a general purpose Linux distro was a
rather expensive undertaking, I doubt that any of the volunteer based,
non "enterprise" distros would be able to go through such a
certification without some form of sponsorship or corporate backing.
