And what if you do "from extmodule import some_function" in a Python module? Then reloading couldn't replace that reference, just as for normal Python modules. Meaning that you'd still have to keep both modules properly alive in order to prevent crashes due to lost global state of the imported function.
People who want to reload modules sometimes know before they start that they will want to. If so, they can just 'import' instead of 'from import' and access everything through the module. There is still the problem of persistent class instances directly accessing classes for attributes, but maybe that can be directed through the class also.
