    It’s not just about crashes. You can switch compositor without logging out or save save the full state of an app to disk to ‘sleep’ the app if you are short of memory. I’m sure people will think of other possibilities too.

      I’m a big fan of high availability software rollouts. It would be interesting to see this do a live update where you spin up the new compositor, run some test on it, if it passes hand off, if that succeds kill the old one. Minimal disruption for the end user.

      Kind of neat for desktop users, but for kiosks or other always running GUIs its super cool to me
