If you have the screen go blank/taskbar disappear and then everything
reappears, and there was someone else logged in, you will prompt for reboot
anyway. But (as happens in the majority of cases with workstations) no one else
was logged in, you will be done.
It's really your call. Different people will have different preferences. Some
people hate reboots with a passion (and if they are your customers, ...)
