Good point, I didn't take into account the command goes about a month
back. I run FBSD in a vbox, and its only console anyways.

I run Debian by default but in any event, there are many reasons for
reboots and for me (typically) I see about 4 reboots a month mostly due
to patching and sec-fixes.

So indeed, YMMV is correct.

My fault for the assumption that folks boot more often than not.
