The 7.1.1 client has been improved so that it won't reboot without warning
and cause havoc amongst our customers.

Good.

But it still needs a reboot because of some components for the GUI. This
means that something that should take 5 minutes now can take a very long
time:

Bureaucratic change process.
Obtain downtime days or weeks down the road.
Pay a technician overtime to do this trivial task at night hours.

IBM should redesign the clients so that it is not dependant on extra
software that requires a reboot. This problem was not present with 6.3 and
earlier and the GUI for 7 isn't THAT spectacular so this should be possible.

RFE is submitted here.
