It does not matter, this is needed strictly for the time of the upgrade process.
Just how short do you expect this to be? I'm sure many of us dist-upgrade daily and (shock! horror!) don't reboot after each upgrade. We also don't expect existing processes to break or become inaccessible after an upgrade.
I mean, I'll probably cope, but it's not quite the smooth, seamless experience that I generally expect.
