Why are people defending that? Why are people saying it's necessary? It wasn't before. Why should it, *NOW*, become so. For the last decade, or so, we've rarely had to reboot. But now it's becoming the norm. You have programmers who are claiming that they need to do a reboot, yet previously this was not needed. Heck, I could even continue to use running software in the middle of it being updated. It's showing a trend, that over time more and more programmers will go down that path. Why is that when users point out flaws and bad practices other people go into "shoot the messenger" mode, instead of acknowledging those flaws? > If you're so disturbed by this, then find another OS that will let > you do that if such a thing even exists.

The (pre)existing OS was already that way, and is moving away from it. Stop copying the worst aspects of other OSs that drove us away from using them, over to using Linux, instead. Those other OSs are bad examples of practices, not good examples. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 4.12.9-300.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Aug 25 13:09:43 UTC 2017 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
