The ROM changes which shipped with the AmigaOS 3.5/3.9 updates all exercised the same mechanism by which operating system modules loaded into RAM whose contents would survive a warm reset would supersede the contents of the ROM image.
If I remember correctly, the same tool (LoadModule) had been used then.
Documentation for these technical aspects has always been somewhat lacking I'm afraid... Not everyone wants to trawl the Amiga forums for hints on what is possible and how.
This time, however, there is an official FAQ on the web site of the company which sells the product and further pointers to more information on Amiga forums which cover the AmigaOS 3.1.4 update.
> That's great news. I'm not sure where I heard they weren't. I'm hopeful tools to do that will pop up on Aminet :)

Good stuff.
>AmigaOS 3.5/3.9
Never been a fan of these. I'm glad 3.1.4 took a different direction.
>LoadModule
Was not aware they could load workbench/icon.library, that is all :-)
>This time, however, there is an official FAQ
I read the one in the downloadable archive whole. It's still quite early and i'm sure there'll be much more info everywhere soon :)
