Well, you can, but it really isn't a good idea. It has no chance to be 
completely safe, something may go wrong pretty easily (like random 
device reboot). There is no safe order in which you can make the upgrade 
of those specific parts (bootloader,kernel,initfs,rootfs) and still have 
device bootable if the process is interrupted.

In fact with current firmware it looks like the old rootfs I have on MMC 
boots with new initfs and kernel but that's just a coincidence.
