This sounds more like a "problem" with the distribution, not that such releases shouldn't happen. If a minor release upgrade prompts for a full system reboot, then maybe that update shouldn't be packaged up on such distros - it shouldn't mean the translations shouldn't get out the door in general in a tagged release. Or they could be gated to all get pushed down all at once, so the reboot is made for many .4 packages, some of which have bug fixes too. Also so late as .4 often seems to be more like a "oh, I haven't done any work on this module at all this cycle, so there's only translation updates - let me get at least these out for users to benefit from the translators work, but I'll not bump the minor as there have been no code changes" kind of deal too, so distros prompting reboots can include them in their next cycles updates, while others know to take them earlier.
