There's no way to tell if an application can be updated on-line due to runtime loadable content and plugins. It's also impossible to do in a race-free way on a multiuser system. Quite frankly, I'm surprised online updates works as much as it does. The problem is when online update fails, you either get corrupted data and crashing application, or a hosed rpmdb. In a related point, we need to reduce the number of updates we present to the user in a massive way in a supposedly "stable" distro.
