Finally, someone reviving this, years after Oracle killed a project as useful as ksplice was (like they usually do...).

The timing is interesting though: this past year we've seen effort towards the (so-called) "secure boot" functionality and I can only assume from the description it'd be directly incompatible.

I can't see why it would be incompatible if the updates themselves were signed.
