So updating from 3.4 to 3.5 takes a reboot as well if one decides to change the Kernel. Not a big difference. I think the other problems which can occur during the update from 3 to 4 are way bigger (wrong configfiles etc.). The ability to change the Kernel without rebooting would be very interesting (and a big advantage over Linux, if that's worth anything to you guys ;-), though.
