Please don't be so negative. The linked messages explain the issue.
Nothing can be done about it anymore, since the previous selinux-policy
update ought to have been offered in the updates-testing repo for a longer
time.

The fix is on its way into the updates repo already. Try this as long as
you can still see 
  https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2014-0870/selinux-policy-3.12.1-117.fc20
in updates-testing:

    su -
    setenforce 0
    yum clean expire-cache
    yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update selinux-policy\*
    setenforce 1
