That's the core of the problem, while other systems have been trying for 
years to get rid of this nonsense (updates requiring reboots), we are 
moving the opposite direction. Technical reasons aside(*), this is NOT

(*) I agree offline updates are the safest way technically but that 
should be only regarded as a workaround for a more fundamental problem, 
lying deep below the desktop level.
