Then I can think of a couple of solutions to this problem:
1. Have fewer update pushes per release - this is something I'm actively
advocating and I think is possible
2. Match up more updates to a specific running app so we can see if the
reboot is really necessary at all. - something else I've wrriten some code
in support of.
How would you like to help in these goals?
