restarting emacs always advisable for upgrade?

restarting emacs always advisable for upgrade?

[Samuel Wales]

Is it safe to load all .elc files in org as a way of not restarting emacs?

Thanks.

I suppose you can (unload-feature 'org), then upgrade, then 
(require 'org), but I have not tested. Just try and report :)

Emacs truly is an OS when its uptime becomes an issue. ;]

And only going to be moreso with the new --daemon mode, since emacs can
now outlive your X session.

I update org from the git repository regularly.  I have a function
org-reload-org that reloads the new sources as described here:

http://orgmode.org/worg/org-hacks.php#sec-6

I don't unload first, I just update the sources, then M-x org-reload-org
and move on with my day.
