I just read through this thread, and we skipped over a partial solution this. Tracer. This isn't just a KDE problem, this is a Fedora problem, I think we should push to have the tracer plugin for DNF installed by default. This will protect anyone who updates via the command line by explicitly saying "you must reboot/logout to conclude the package update because: xyz."
I also think we should consider plugging tracer into PackageKit so that anyone updates via Muon/Apper can get a visual notification saying "You must reboot/logout to complete this update."
Software's covered by this by way of the Offline Updates it does.
Now, tracer wouldn't protect against an incompatibility that was introduced immediately. Such as the SELinux bug a couple months ago, but at least a notification saying "An update/logout is required" would -inform- users.
I admit, I, like others, freely update without a second thought. I shouldn't do it, but I do. But I'm advanced enough to know how to fix issues like these-- we shouldn't assume all users are. This bug issue would've been really bad for a user who just installed Fedora today and immediately hit it.
