Well, I usually find it a bit of a pain to have to remember to update the kernel before rebooting. Also, since I usually suspend rather than shutting down, I have to actually remember to update the kernel and reboot at some point. I usually do that when a decent number of important packages get updated and I think "I'm probably about due a reboot; I might as well". I wish there were a better metric for this, though. Paul
