The main reason we strive for stable, rock-solid relays is for connectivity. If you have ever used SSH/IRC via Tor, you know how annoying it is when you get disconnected. This is likely because one of the 3 relays went offline. I would say a machine that goes offline every 2-4 days would be beyond acceptable;

I do follow closely the latest hardened Gentoo linux kernel, therefore I do reboot every 1-2 weeks (when is KPatch/K>Graft alive ???). For that I shutdown Tor "gracefully" (--signal INT -R 60). I wa in the mood, that this would mean, that Tor closes their connections gracefully, so a new relay will "replace" my current tor relays connections :-/
