Because being able to upgrade the system "hot" using a package manager
makes my life easy. Having a userland tied to a kernel means if I update
one ahead of the other, I can impact the user's operations. Ditto for
graceful upgrades of libc. My customers don't want the service down for
anything without a month's notice and three meetings. Why reboot the box
unless there's a kernel vulnerability, not a library or userland vuln?
I love FreeBSD, but at the end of the day, being able to "yum install
beer" or "apt-get install yuengling" gives me more time for beer and
less time awake in the middle of the night.
