Its not a bad decision, because if you lose the maintenance window you
will never get it back, no matter how desparate the need for
maintenance.

It was not necessarily needed even then, but the decision was made to
continue an age old convention at that time so as to keep a long
standing window for maintenance  :)   The tradition began over 10 years
ago, I have been gone for about 1/2 a decade now.

I agree - I like to have a DBA involved to check things out whenever the
host and/or instance is restarted.  We've got about 10 unix (AIX & HPUX)
boxes and none of them has ever crashed in over 8 years.  Why would you
do weekly reboots on a Unix box?

In one previous shop, unix shutdown every Sunday anyway, so it was coded
to only autostart on that day.... perhaps that was at that time one
reason the unix box rarely crashed... if ever.
