It think he means this: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2808
or https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2255#c21 or
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2255#c22

I've also become supportive of this, sectool is basically duplicating
partly msec functionality, there was no adaption for Mageia, currently it's
checking on Mageia with the upstream Fedora configuration.

Honestly this should have been done when importing it, as
tmb already mentioned. msec should be patched to not require it.

When we can't even get our default security tool to work properly,
what's the point in adding a second one which needs even more
maintenance?
