A) Arguing from anecdote
B) I realize desktop is not a priority for us, but desktop users

C) For those times that you do need to reboot a system, why add minutes 
to the boot without reason?

I mentioned the problem, and proposed a solution for it ... I'm asking 
people to test the solution I proposed.
