I understand what you mean because i run a server at home and therefore i know
about such possible problems.

I'm only wondering that everybody think he is on the safe side that you don't
restart it as a rule in every case. At example if the package is a daemon
without any dependence to another one this is only defering a possible
problem in the future to the next reboot, not more and for me not better.

But i don't want to say that you have to change this because for a single
daemon i would say that this is possible but for a combination of them as you
said this is too much work for a problem who could (and should) be solved
from the user.

See you, Attila
