As someone who is new to this side of Android, I find this proof of concept intriguing and incredibly educational. While it is certainly true that potential security problems may arise from implementing something like this in your app, it is good to know that the developer is working hard to iron some of the problems out. For me, the value in this concept lies in the provided insight of seeing an app being significantly updated in such a short span of time with absolutely no interruption to the user.

On another note: lets keep in mind the fact that this was built within 24 hours by a motivated young student at a recent collegiate hackathon (I was there to see the presentation). It is, after all, a great hack that really shows the spirit of hacking.
