1000 days of uptime means the server never rebooted for 3 years, since you need to reboot to apply kernel update / firmware update. ( and plz don't mention ksplice ect .. those are not intended for that )

They absolutely are intended for that. RHEL, Canonical, Oracle, SUSE and KC all disagree with you.

How do you update firmware without rebooting for 3 years? And no it's a stupid idea to use Ksplice for that long and I'm 99.9% sure that OP didn't use Ksplice or similar solution anyway, it's just bad mgmt.
