With kernel upgrades in place is this an issue anymore?

  In-place kernel upgrades are cheating wrt uptime :)

    Why?
    • joosters 7y ago
      No real reason, just that they potentially give you unlimited uptime. I know that's a good thing, just not for this particular silly challenge :) Although, in-place upgrades haven't been around all that long in the grand scheme of things. Perhaps there's a box out there that predates in-place upgrades and is still running securely?

  Depends how long you're willing to backport security fixes. Even Red Hat only goes ~15 years.
