What makes you think its still there, at least in any way that is
remotely usable ?

Even if it was still usable, it still doesn't have anywhere near the
level of functionality that SELinux has. For example, SEVMS has _no_
TCP/IP integration whereas SELinux does, and in ways that actively
enhance the ability of Linux systems to help keep a successful breach
contained.
