If you're making runtime changes to your systems without testing that they restart properly, you're asking for disaster sooner or later; especially as you stack update upon update. If you're not performing updates at all, you have other issues. What's really significant is the (lowest) number of *unscheduled* restarts; unfortunately, that's not easily posted on a scoreboard.
