Nice! This might also be useful for live updates to a web application.
Instead of loading code updates abruptly, as we do now, we could load the
new version of the app into a separate environment. New sessions would be
directed to the new environment, and existing sessions would continue to
use the old environment. Once all the sessions expire, the old environment
gets removed.
