I read this as a cautionary tale. Here we have a server that only through the grace of god is still up, and is likely owned up. If it isn't, it's because of how little is going on with it.

At its current use, it's likely not a major issue but imagine if someone saw this uptime and thought to take it as a statement of reliability and built a service on it. I for one, would want that disclosed because this is a disaster waiting to happen. I'd much rather someone disclose that they had a few servers each with no longer than 7 days of uptime because they'd been fully imaged and cycled in that time...

It works both ways: it is also a cautionary tale for those who are prone to believe it's all unreliable cattle that needs constant restart because nothing is stable nor reliable...
