Even worse is that every single update requires a reboot. I just took a
fully updated system and then downgraded vlc. Updated with Discover and
even though it only had to update vlc-core-3.0.13-1.fc34.x86_64 and
vlc-3.0.13-1.fc34.x86_64 it still required a reboot.
Looks like this will be an option in 5.22 .

Although I am not sure how doing an online vlc update will cause an
"unstable system". It wouldn't be so bad if there were not almost daily
updates available.
