Thanks! I’m surprised that doesn’t cause more issues (especially with unattended updates on servers), e.g. programs not getting restarted when an update to a library is made, or newly started programs loading incompatible (some combination of old and new) dependencies.

I mean any program code is gonna stay loaded, so that's not an issue. So you're basically only left with resource files potentially causing issues. Most programs won't re-load their configs without getting prompted so that's not a problem either. I feel like it's one of those things that just happens to cause surprisingly few issues and where they do happen it's either no biggie or gets fixed.
