Surely there is no point upgrading the kernel unless you are going to
reboot thereby loading in the new kernel and you could keep the old

I'd be much happier with Linux if there was a security over
functionality kernel but then I guess it would get less market share on
desktops and wouldn't be Linux anyway.
