One (horrible) argument is that the update software (pup) asks you to
reboot when you install new kernels.
So now all package management software across all distributions has to
have an exhaustive list of packages that might need a full reboot to
operate correctly? That's a lot to ask for methinks. Especially when
there is no explicit way to mark a package at the packaging level in
either debs or rpms afaik to hint that a reboot might be needed for
correct operation.
On this tangent, note that with Luke's super spiffy update metadata
integration into repomd, we're including a flag that says "this update
needs a reboot".
If several packages may require a reboot, then this is starting to make
backing out changes a good deal tricker than just rebooting the previous
good kernel.
What's proposed for this? "This goes with that" version affinity?
