In your opinion, every program in existence should allow a user to hot-patch it? Like: dump the memory and open descriptors somewhere and execve() new version of itself? Yeah, you go ahead - write patches, contribute. Meanwhile, when a security bug strucks in the least obvious place, like wnck-applet or something, we will have means to fix it without logout for our users. That's a win. Really. Even if the method is exotic, which I can't deny. Lam
