This is the age old difference between Microsoft environments and
Unix/Novell environments.
I like to joke that Microsoft uptime is measured in hours....
Unix/Novell is always in years,months, and days.
Although, I have to admit that Win 2k (server) and XP have substantially
improved uptime and install lifetime. A lot of that can be traced back
to "leave it the **** alone if it works!"
I would be surprised if * actually HAD to be rebooted or restarted on
any frequency. I suspect maintenance and changes would force restarts
more often then clutter.

There may be certain days when you check asterisk from the -HEAD branch
that might be less stable than other days.
The comments above seem to come from a certain type of "admin"
personality. That personality is rampant in MS Windows shops and in some
big iron shops.
Right now this is the uptime from my main PBX.
phone*CLI> show uptime
System uptime: 21 weeks, 21 hours, 16 minutes, 50 seconds Last reload: 1
week, 1 day, 15 hours, 53 minutes, 40 seconds
As of this message, we have run about 7200 calls this month alone, or
about 250 calls average per day right now.
For November and December minus 2 days, 15300 calls or about 259 calls a
day average.
I don't have problems.
