I just used up2date to get and install all of the updates available including 
the kernel.  This is the first time I have had up2date update the kernel.

When up2date completed, I noticed that both the old and new kernels were still 
installed (good) and that the new kernel was now the default (surprised by 
this but I believe it is the correct thing to do).

However, when I went through the up2date panels, there was no message of 
anything warning/telling me that I will need to reboot to actually have the 
new kernel take effect.  While there may be other installed packages which 
will not really take effect without a reboot, the kernel is the most obvious 
and glaring.  I really thing some "reminder" would be useful about the reboot 
being needed.  I will put this bugzilla if you desire.
