After Jira restart, all users are logged out - even those with "remember my login" cookies

Question

When our admins restart Jira or Confluence, all users are logged out - even when they selected "remember my login" when logging in before.

The Jira cookie page says nothing about this.

Why is that?

What can we do to stay logged in, even after server/daemon restart?

OK can you explain how exactly is it a security hole? 
What happens during the service restart that compromises the system security?

I'm afraid it is.  It is a security hole to continue sessions.  You are right that the user experience is absolutely critical - "not being hacked" overrides "slightly more convenient" every time.
