I'd disagree. Do you consider SELinux to be policy as well just because
it's in the kernel?

As David said in his response, it's a mechanism. Whether _you_ choose
to use it or not decides the "policy". That's why I said put a config
option around it. You would still have _choice_.

Absolutely. So why are you trying to prevent people that want to use
module signing from doing so?
