You are correct that some of the utilities have SE Linux related patches.  
Also one thing to note is that utilities and policy are changed in 
synchronisation.  So if you upgrade one without the other when tracking 
rawhide then things might not work (NB upgrades other than from one release 
to another are not officially supported, tracking rawhide in every way should 
work but with partial upgrades you are on your own).

ntpd does not have SE Linux related patches and we have no plans to do such 
things.

Yes.  Boot with "selinux=1 enforcing=0" to relabel it.
