Yes, a kernel update needs the computer to be restarted. But most of the time, 
since you're working, you delay it up to the next reboot.

The real problem occurs when you have a laptop and you hibernate. On next 
boot, the kernel binary that starts isn't the one that did the hibernate. And 
you lose everything as if you had just plainly switched off the PC instead of 
hibernating. So, as long as a kernel binary can't recognise that another 
binary did a hibernate on the swap partition, I think this reminder is truely 
welcome.
