That doesn't match what one can read here:

Why not? Please explain.

You make it sound as if the testers have tried to skim over the several of
dozen bugzilla ticket descriptions linked at
  
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2014-0806/selinux-policy-3.12.1-116.fc20
in an attempt at trying to find out _what_ the update touches.

A fundamental problem here is that even if a tester confirms that the
update fixes a _single_ bug, the other several dozens of changes could
cause regression -> reason to be careful and test this thing a bit longer.

That has been easy once the update arrived here on the nearby mirror.
"setenforce 0 && repeat previous command that caused strange behaviour"
is a very common troubleshooting thing, even if there haven't been any
AVC denied messages.
