I did so on a production system which I do not reboot often. Two days
ago, I reconfigured and saw a new Shepherd version being deployed. It
used up a lot of CPU cycles until I rebooted.

It makes sense that upgrading the Shepherd requires a reboot, but maybe
a warning somewhere would be appropriate, if possible. Maybe an email to
root?

Kind regards
