It will not. Plugins are already loaded (in kernel speak, they are
mmap'ed) and if you overwrite the file with new version, Linux is smart
enough to keep the overwritten version in memory, because it is mmap'ed
into the memory space of a program running. When you run yade again,
however, it will use plugins as they are on disk, i.e. the new ones.

For the same reason you can upgrade your packages while the system is
running.
