If regular maintenance does not including rebooting the computer, this is news-worthy.

If the maintenance schedule does document system reboots, this is boring and business as expected... no different than periodically reinflating tires or replacing oil. I'd have no concerns flying on such a plane.

I understand, but as developers it is interesting that even in such critical software there are such bugs (in case it was not designed with the reboots in mind from the start)
