The key here is that distributions release new kernels at a rapid pace.
This is not X where we get a new release every five years. The standard
mechanism for upgrading device drivers in Linux is to add them to the
kernel and wait for a release.

So, people have to reboot to install a new graphics driver? How very windows...

At least with windows you don't have to re-install the whole OS first...
