Poll. Does 10.11.5 still freeze

I just had a Safari crash followed by a system freeze and crash on my 5K iMac running 10.11.5. Never had that happen before now. Hmm...
Edit: Turns out the issue was hardware-related.

Experienced several system-wide freezes. Both are after not using Mac for a few hours.
Mouse can move, but clicking on anything just gives me a spinning wheel. And eventually system clock stops going.
What I notice before system freeze is: Spotlight is doing weird stuff in background hogging CPU all the time before dragging it to death. Or, photoagent process uses all CPU for no actual reason. Or, windowserver uses a hug amount of CPU but not all, then system becomes super slow.

Haven't had those system freezes like I did with OS 10.11.4 so far, but I am experiencing stuck icons in the dock.
I have a late 2015 27" iMac that I got the end of February. It worked perfectly until the 10.11.4 update and then I started experiencing the freeze quite frequently.
I installed 10.11.5 as soon as it was released and "knock on wood" I haven't had a freeze so far. Everything appears to be working great, "again knock on wood".
