Since it's new, kernel level and has impact, frequent updates are
likely. Many of those packages have been 'policy' updates which means
that it isn't stuff that requires restarts but rather new policy
definitions of other daemons.

Package stability is not the same as system stability. It seems clear
that the OP confused his inability to deal with blocks from SELinux with
system stability.
