I guess, I was trying to stress my point wrong way (or to stress wrong
point). I probably should have asked:

How many users do you have to see logged into your server to become
obsessed about not rebooting it? Or: do users on your number crunchers
ever run jobs taking a Month and longer (yes, I and my users do know about
checkpointing, still...)

But if it is single user server or laptop, who cares, right? On the other
hand, who would care even to mention it?

Just my humble point of view.
