You're right that's a fair question. My comment was trying to highlight the robustness of the system more than uptime being a good metric for quality. By that I mean that I didn't _have_ to reboot to keep the system healthy enough to stay alive. That's unfortunately not the case of some other hardware I deal with. For my Pi I regularly update without a reboot, but that might not be enough for kernel updates. I will look more into it.
