I've heard this before and it doesn't make any sense to me. Just like your
Linux box needs a reboot to get a kernel upgrade, your node needs a restart
to upgrade. Neither the (entire) internet will go down nor the (entire)
Bitcoin network will go down as a result.

This is fine, and groups that do development should do this more structured
than something like https://bitcoinhardforkresearch.github.io/
It just would not make any sense to have a roadmap for the *entire* industry
as this would require you to decide what technical solution is better than
another before either of them are fully researched.
Individual groups can have solutions that they believe is the best. And then
we can let the market decide which one is to be actually activated.
