Question: Does it makes sense to collect all services which should
be restarted during the update process and restart the services after
all packages was updated?

I've been doing updates via yum update forever. I never had any problems. This looks like a solution in search of a problem, to me.

But if this indeed an issue, the package should take care of by itself, using its own scripts. There is even a documented way for a package to stop its services, before it gets updated, and restart it, after the update, see /var/lib/rpm-state
