No, indeed, it just reduces the pain due to not reloading them.

In general this is not possible right now (e.g. any defvars will keep
using the value from the old version; removed functions and vars might
linger around; ...).
We could provide the option to "try to reload and cross your fingers".
We could also provide "try to unload-feature, cross your fingers, and
then reload".
