Thats newspeak if I ever saw any.

Going from a system which generally doesn't prompt users to reboot to
one that does is a regression.

I was not "randomly blaming" I was copying from Richard Hughes
message.  He said these services need system reboots for upgrades.
"That isn't what we signed up for"

I haven't personally experienced problems with this but I trust that
there are problems.  Causing users to need to reboot for updates does
not solve the problem— it masks it.  And masking can be a fine
"solution" where its harmless, but it certainly isn't here.  The
reboot for upgrades stuff in windows is one of the most often cited
annoying anti-features, so it's understandable why people would throw
stones at something that looked like it was emulating it.
