Eventually, you'll be able to use kpatch to avoid reboots for kernel
updates, (http://rhelblog.redhat.com/2014/02/26/kpatch/), however I
tend to think that Uptime is overrated.  Newer technologies, such as
VMs and containers, allow services to not be tied to single servers
anymore.  Anyway, it's hardly Red Hat's fault that it addresses
security issues promptly.
