I am using online updates of RPMs all the time. How is it dishonest to say
that it just works for me, when this is the fact?
If you really believe you're correct, try to kill your X server
in the
middle of an upgrade...
That will actually not hurt at all if you upgrade through PackageKit (with a
frontend like plasma-pk-updates that does online updates) or dnfdaemon (with
Dnfdragora or Yumex-DNF), because those run outside of the X session, they
are activated off the D-Bus system bus (not the session bus).
