I didn't say I was designing anything, I just said it is a factor.
I've worked in some embedded projects in which the board had to be
rebooted from time to time. In that case we needed/wanted the system
to be up and running ASAP.

Anyway, being a general purpose OS we can not expect FreeBSD to be
installed on systems that almost never boot. That is not a reality
IMHO.
