So updating any package, no matter how trivial, means rebooting? Speaking as someone who has never been a Gnome user, thanks for the clarification. KDE certainly does not do this. I don't know if any other DE does.

That's right if, and only if you use Gnome's built in package updater. If you use yum, yumex or dnf, you're not forced to reboot.
Jeez, but that sounds such a crap encumbrance. Even just a log out and log back in again is a severe nuisance. It's beginning to sound a lot like Windows; built for morons, by morons.
How do you restart already running processes after an upgrade of system libraries and/or services, for example?
Log out and log back in is not enough.
