I think that's a rose-colored glasses look in the rear-view mirror.  The
"traditional" Unix flavors I dealt with (Solaris and DEC Unix) required
reboots; DEC Unix pretty much required going to single-user mode to even
install a patch kit.  When it wasn't required, it was highly recommended
by the documentation.
