"system died from autoimmune disease" - this is gold!
I can't imagine why would anyone want to have an untested set of semibuggy functions just to replace them at will.
However, I can imagine the tinkering code approach, not "self-healing", when we are expecting ALL functions to be good, it is just we don't know which one fits better to the situation. People actually do this all the time since the beginning of the history, but perhaps the discussed approach can introduce more abstract framework for that.
