I agree. That's precisely my point.  Saying "you never have to reboot a 
Linux machine except for kernel upgrades" is incorrect. It assumes the box 
has all the tools it needs to manage it without rebooting, and it assumes 
your software environment isn't hardened against you manipulating it in the 
ways described.

OK, so how do you upgrade your PRL without rebooting your phone? My point is 
that claiming "you don't have to" assumes a whole bunch of facts that 
aren't true just because you're running Linux.
