Are you trying to avoid the reboot entirely, or are you just trying to reduce the number of BEs being created? Would you be happy bouncing back and forth between two BEs -- update B from A, boot into it, update A from B, boot back to that, etc? I'd rather see BE management get smarter than allow unsafe operations, even with big warnings and no documentation. And if it's just a handful of binaries, then maybe cp really is the right answer. You're a developer, after all, and a system of yours in rapid development isn't necessarily going to be 100% polished w.r.t. the packaging.
