i leave my fossil/venti fs untouched unless there's a need to update
the kernel -- i simply dislike rebooting as an event, unless it's a
terminal, in which case i only care if it happens without warning.

i regurarly run uptimes of a month, and now that fossil has been
stable for a while i expect those to increase.

generally there are no trivially observable leaks in fossil.  the
memory footprint has stayed the same, in the hundreds of kilobytes, in
the past 24 days since the last reboot.  overall memory usage does
increase, but that's mostly from programs that refuse to die after you
delete their windows.

of course i'm nowhere near the unattendancy of a ken fs.  just checked
dan cross' cpu server -- it's been up for:
