As an aside, for some weird reason way beyond what makes sense on a

I wouldn't believe that. There's been a hell of a lot of advocacy
(that I don't agree with) that you should always reboot after updates.
The notion of only rebooting when you really need it has gone right out
the window, to be replaced by the Windows-centric thinking that it's
easier just to reboot rather than assess whether it's really necessary.
