Seriously, the times where long uptime were something to celebrate are long over. System security is important.
That's when I realised that while huge uptimes were great and fascinating,(as with that famous server that was accidentally sealed off behind a wall for years and forgotten about until it finally stopped working), you'd have to reboot every time a new Solaris (or other OS) version was released.
That was mid 1994. I haven't worried about uptimes since then.
