you can't. the modules wired to the old version will continue to use the
old version. if a new module was to request explicitly the new version,
then the new bundle would be loaded (the two versions would then
co-exist). The only way IIRC to reload a module is to first stop all
bundles using the old version, uninstall the old version, install the
new version and restart all stopped modules. We don't support this
automatically as it is very complicated to achieve since our bundles are
not expecting to be unloaded/reloaded.
