More or less. Another way to phrase it is that:

> alerted that it's out of date until a reboot occurs.

This is a problem primarily for people that do not reboot their systems
frequently as they will not be notified of new updates in a timely fashion. 
e.g. if you install a security update on Monday, reboot and are fully patched,
but a subsequent security update is released Wednesday, and you don't reboot
until Sunday, you will not be notified about the security update from Wednesday
until Sunday ... which is really *not* great.
