Yes, good point. If live updates are that risky it's probably better not to do
it, because a broken system is the bigger problem than the time overhead needed
at reboot. However, I personally didn't have an issue with it so far.

Althogh I know almost nothing about the system internals, this sounds like a
good idea to me, although it's probably very difficult.
As far as I know, there even is some kernel livepatch service that is used for
servers to avoid long reboots, so maybe something similar is theoretically
possible for plasma, daemons, ..., too?
