I knew about similar thing: ksplice http://www.ksplice.com/ for about 7 years or so. I was offered that at discounted price (one of brilliant programmers at that company is relative of our Center Director). I decided against that. It is similar thing to why I do not use RedHat (even though our university maintains license), but use CentOS instead. More direct solution (i.e. switching servers to system which I do not have to schedule reboot often; FreeBSD would be one of the choices) was the decision for servers. But workstations stay CentOS (CentOS 7 from now on). The system is great for the purpose! Thanks to everybody for all your input: it is really instructive!
