>If the maintenance schedule is N days, then any news article pointing out how amusing it is that an airliner needs to be rebooted every <N days is at best sensationalism, at worst pure fearmongering.
Why not treat it like security? Yes, there are other layers of defense, but any given layer needs to be measured on its own. If I find that some large government website allows for javascript to be inserted for an XSS, but prevents it from running because it only allows javascript executed from a specific javascript origin, it is still a security flaw because some user might use a browser that does not implement content security policy. Yes, the user shouldn't be using such an insecure browser, but the website itself should not allow for scripts to be injected and not properly encoded.
