>Because we don't expect machines to run for 68 years without reboot.

Certain nameless-but-large customers out in the world, running certain
nameless Linux/busybox-based products, have experienced abject system
failures after longer runtimes.  Two years is one such number.  These
are generally sign-overflow types of bugs.  Kernel bugs, libc bugs,
etc.  Some products are intended to run for years, if not decades,
at a time.
