I cannot recall if the last update was verbose or the messages were 
suppressed. I like to see the messages for two reasons, see what 
restorecon is doing and also so I don't think yum is locked up when it 
is actually waiting for restorecon to complete.

It probably is alright. You might want to ensure it is running when 
policy is being updated.

Don't rely too heavily on my comments for SELinux policy though.
