No need for EEPROM but for a custom PC & PIC bootloader which would perform all RF thingy + possible home-made encryption + CRC check + + + and at the end probably eat a lot of code space.... no longer a real big deal though.
Doable for sure. There's a load of open-source bootloader for PIC16,PIC18, PIC24, DsPIC, PIC32 here and there (USB, Ethernet, Serial, I2C, SPI and all sort of custom protocol). Pick one and work 'round it.
The core remain the same, it's only the protocol who change. And yes I did it. Even with a Cell-Phone based unit (kind of cell-phone) 1-2 years ago.

It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
