Did anyone's F20 system randomly "reboot" after updating from updates-testing just recently?

This happens more often then you think. Try 'rpm -qd <package>'. A
serious chances are that if you just removed a duplicate only from an
rpm database then the whole directory in /usr/share/doc/ got orphaned.
Not, not always but often enough. There are numerous other situations
when a corresponding manifest changed between versions. A layout
changed, for example.
On the long run I'd rather not to have various orphaned files lying
around. Maybe there are innocuous but I prefer not to spent my time
thinking about it.
