Okay, here's my short answer:  

Regardless of OS, you should _always_ reserve dates/times for preventive
maintenance on a regular basis.

But I agree with most others, unless it is a kernel upgrade or GLibC change,
there's no absolutely need to reboot.  Not even during preventive maintanence
should you feel compelled.
