There are classes of RPMs that definitely can be done without a reboot in a safe way (documentation-only; packages with a single executable and no libraries / separate data files; and quite a few other cases), and letting packagers opt them in to being updated without a reboot seems like a clear improvement on the status quo. I don’t know, perhaps they are currently rare enough that it is not worth it; but it seems to me that we will need vaguely that kind of infrastructure in any case (if only to allow updates of the sandboxed apps).
