Yes, I'm pretty sure Blueprint doesn't replace the OSGi classloaders. However OSGi classloaders support the concept of Bundle Revisions [1]. As long as existing bundles refer to classes from a Bundle, even if that bundle is updated or uninstalled a Bundle Revision is kept around for it until the last reference is gone.
