Well, so long as the map gets unloaded first (i.e. the dm "reset" 
command), then upgrading the maps while the server is running, is 
perfectly possible.
Though upgrading the server without disconnecting players seems a little 
far fetched. Perhaps they meant updating the server package, without 
loading the new one yet, wouldn't interrupt the existing running server 
(and indeed they should be right if that is what they meant)
