The problem is not how long it takes to restart apache.  The problem is
that in some cases, --upgrade restarts the upgraded software, in other
cases, it doesn't.  The problem is that while you were a good system
administrator and ran --upgrade, the new software is actually not in
use.  The problem is the inconsistency in automated restarting, which
means something will be forgotten.

Heh, as a side note, I often upgrade the kernel but then purposely go
for weeks, or, ahem, months, without actually restarting the machine
because of a known measure of attack risk and how the machine is
actually being used (but this just means I need to start enforcing
designated maintenance windows).
