I remember these old days when people didn't update kernels on their systems and boasted of high uptime on their private servers. Like high uptime would be an indicator of good maintenance ;)

In this case, I was referring to personal use (or development) machines. High uptime could indeed mean that someone has neglecting important updates, but it can also mean a stable system where updates do not require reboots.

Clearly the intent of my post was missed by many, so whatever.

In the age of clustering software are there still admins that are proud of their high uptimes?
