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

I am not sure if dnf is the problem here. I updated my system yesterday 
using dnf and (thankfully?) did not see this problem. Just for 
comparison, here is a subset of packages I have in commmon with Ankur's 
list -

# rpm -qa NetworkManager qt selinux-policy libreoffice firewalld 
firewall-config initscripts | sort

firewall-config-0.3.9-1.fc20.noarch
firewalld-0.3.9-1.fc20.noarch
initscripts-9.51-1.fc20.x86_64
NetworkManager-0.9.9.0-24.git20131003.fc20.x86_64
qt-4.8.5-14.fc20.x86_64
selinux-policy-3.12.1-116.fc20.noarch

For the sake of completeness, I run XFCE here and my systemd is 
systemd-208-9.fc20.x86_64
