Sure, in _theory_ it can be a non-mmap executable (maybe people still have those old OMAGIC a.out executables), and in _theory_ you could unmap the executable even if it was originally mmap'ed, but neither of those is exactly common, are they? So in practice, nothing has changed wrt lifetime of the executable.
