I don't think so.

See http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2014-05/msg00381.html which is about
updating Lua via shared libraries and why we don't think that's warranted.
In summary, Lua is not a critical component in an OS: it is meant to be
embedded, not update system-wide, which may break some apps.
