This sounds too complex to me.

See my response to Shane's post though.  I think a limited
reload with explicit failures could be very useful and safe.

Good for you.  I've observed that when reload causes problems,
people are often unaware of it.  People have baffling errors
that eventually clear themselves up (after a restart), increasing
their awe of the ficklness of the Zope gods. ;)

Unfortunately, in the past people have often asked me for help
in debugging strange failures, wasting hours of my time.
