sure but I sent in a patch to kill SECURITY_APPARMOR_BOOTPARAM_VALUE
because I really dislike the extra levels of config and getting rid
of the SEC..BOOTPARAM_VALUE seems to be the easy way to fix it
Now if only we can convince Paul and Stephen :)

why yes, glad you asked
If lsm.enabled is an explicit list lsm.disabled isn't required its a
convenience option that can introduce confusion and conflicts. If
both lsm.enabled and lsm.disabled are being used at the same time.
I realize that some times the convenience of specifying
lsm.disable=$LSM
is easier than specifying an entire list of what should be enabled
when you just want to disable a single LSM.
I don't think the convenience is worth the potential confusion, but
I don't feel strongly about it and realize others feel the other
way.
tldr: I can live with it, but don't like it if you are asking :)
