Good point. Think about those folks who install an OS in an office suit. There may be a dozen or more computers that need to work worry free. That's where stable rules. Maintenance then isn't 'tinker & reboot', 'tinker & reboot', but a check of system logs and a warm feeling that it's alright :) Then when the time comes for security updates, it's amazing to know you can run this system wide and not have to "REBOOT YOUR COMPUTER NOW Yes/No"
