It's mandatory reboot if kernel is updated? - eviltoast

Hello mates,

As you know, in arch Linux the kernel is updated frequently but, is mandatory or good practice reboot any time the kernel is updated?

Edit: Thank you guys for your replies

    Last time I tried replacing the kernel without a reboot it still reset the uptime. And it had about as long of a pause when replacing the kernel as a reboot had. So I don’t see the benefit.
