A definite plus if you are just making config changes,
and it certainly couldn't hurt in other situations.
The two most common ways I see OSPF fail are:
1> crash and reboot the max
2> crash and just stop
right now #2 requires a reboot, if they can correct that,
or even have a watchdog that restarts OSPF automagicly,
were at least 50% better off, but I won't even guess how difficult
it would be to make sure all OSPF memory is dealocated,
all processes get killed, etc., in order to restart it.
