Has rooting your GS4 affected stability? Or, does simple root change kernel? topic

Hey guys, silly question I know, but from my previous experiences, just rooting usually changes the kernel, and it noticeably drops stability.

GS4 is easily best phone for stability I ever owned. Not a single SOD after a year (damn you Infuse 4G and One X).

Has anyone ran into any issues after rooting with things force closing every so slightly more or the phone pulling a SOD?

For root I am talking about CF-Auto-Root via odin. Keeping all else stock. no new roms or anything like that.
