Planned Maintenance - Believe or not ?

The question is about the planned maintenance activities you do on a server level or database level. The activity I am referring to is rebooting the node and restarting database instances , crs stack etc. we had this routine from sometime back, but now management asks why should we do it. I have heard from many people that they usually do a server reboot when the uptime goes more than 6 months or so. Now,the management is saying why we have to do it. The plain explanation is that a software is designed to run and to handle a load , then it should run for ever if nothing on it is changed.

I would like to know whether any one has something like a planned maintenance activity where you reboot servers and reboot instances every 6 months or so ?
