Or a little less strictly... have room in the repodata so package
maintainers can mark a package as requiring a reboot to function, and
clientside package tools can then inform users as appropriate. I
believe that pup has a hardwired list at the moment and has ui to
notify about required reboots if those packages are updated.
Correct and having it in the update metadata is already the plan
