I am thinking that it is not becoming fun anymore when I have to report those errors/bugs and they are reported back with CLOSED Repeated bug or fixed in selinux-policy, and I still see them again even though I have updated the machine[after I saw there there were indeed updates, because of a confusion with rawhide reports, broken deps was first and I thougnt there were no updates :(  ]

It failed to work and I disabled it.  I am seeing why many folks are disabling selinux, is there any reason as to why there are many changes taking place that *it is not worth filing bugs reports* because they will be CLOSED (NOT A BUG) or already a (DUPLICATE BUG).

I had been trouble free since a good while but now it is becoming a pain, just starting up and I see the selinux star at the bottom of the panel, and I click on it and *many times I could not file bug reports*, when I did *they were DUPLICATE, or CLOSED, or fixed in selinux-policy-?????*  Only to apply updates and start again and I see the bugs again :(, and have like 50 sealerts many of them related :(

Not exactly sure whats happening. keep in mind
if your using a development versions of fedora,
then you will run into issues.(if your on stable then
you should be fine).

As for the avc's being generated, tough to say
As of now I'm running the latest policy, with a custom
built system(LFS).
One thing for sure, is if  I move to a newer system
there will be issues with gnome and the latest refpolicy
due to the heavy development with refpolicy, and gnome.

Have you tried using a different policy other than what fedora has?
