Exactly the same that do SLIME with common lisp. You can replace
functions while the program is running (and the function could be in the
stack too:D); It's mature technology. In HA is essential that the
program continues to run even during upgrades...

For a board, well, it could be done; 'just' serialize all the commands
to a common core and implements some kind of observer to upgrade the
views. As for it usefulness I think that there are more useful things to
do in pcbnew:P

BTW do the beaglebone survive industrial environments? the sitara seems
more apt to low power than high resiliency applications...
