Sure, as long as all[1] the resources were either open()d when the
user started the program, or linked in as resources into the library
itself then it works fine. You can certainly design an application
that does this correctly, it's just that very few do. A lot of GNOME
apps compile in resources into the binary itself, using GResource, and
this very much helps live updating.
Just a thought - but wouldn't be better spend time to enlighten Gnome/Firefox
developers how to write applications in a way the could be upgraded runtime,
instead of forcing users to reboot machines which seems seriously ridiculous.
And if we can't fix Gnome - then let's have there daemon/systemd service
waiting in background till the 'problematic' app is still running - and run
upgrade when the app is finally closed (eventually kindly ask user to close
the app in case of some CVE....)
