Hmm, I just did a similar experiment. yum updated systemd and a couple
of other things. Under my normal user n-r reports no changes. Running as
root it reports:

# needs-restarting 
1 : /bin/systemd--log-levelinfo--log-targetsyslog-or-kmsg--system--dump-core--show-status=1--sysv-console=1--deserialize21
468 : /lib/systemd/systemd-logger
979 : /usr/sbin/modem-manager
1460 : -:0

This clearly requires further thought (or a BZ report).
