are you talking about a scenario where you’ve deployed new code to the server, while a user is currently on a page that uses a backbone setup?

One of the reasons I chose backbone instead of knockout was because of the fetch capability of the model and synching with the server.   I could be wrong but there seems less room for synchronisation issues this way.
