You'll never see this is a corporate IT setting.
Besides Kernel upgrades, systems should be rebooted on a scheduled basis, at least monthly.
The reason is to prove it can be rebooted. I can't tell you in the old days how often we'd reboot a system that had been up for 15 months, only to scramble because an upgrade done a year ago (and now a distant memory) broke something.
My servers have been up about 40 days; whenever it gets to 60 I find an excuse to reboot them for safety.
