Another myth that should be put to rest.  When the University was
still running on VMS it was managed by someone most people here
would recognize as an authority  on VMS management.  They used
to reboot the systems regularly and never left them running for
more than a month with out a reboot.  Just because some people
let them go longer and even see some value in the bragging
rights doesn't necessarily mean it's a good idea.
