How much of SE-PgSQL would also complement the App Armor framework?

Also, yet another MAC system called Tomoyo from NTT was merged into
the linux kernel earlier this year.

Is SE-PgSQL orthogonal and/or complimentary to all of those?

Since I see MAC features continuing to be added to operating
systems, I can certainly imagine they're important to some
customers.
