If updated via rpm/yum, they do a "condrestart", but OPs 
context is an 7.1503 to 7.1511 "upgrade". Thus, the execution 
environment changes significantly (glibc, kernel etc.) and 
this should be addressed with a reboot. If in the future only 
a "service" (e.g. httpd) gets an update, then rpm handles the 
restarting process of the running service.
