Wayland hot-replace server?

[nerdopolis]

Hi.

I just want to bring this up for early consideration:

It seems that many things in Wayland will be determined by they type of 
compositor server you are running, such as if you want to have a tiling window 
manager in Wayland, or one that has other features. 

My question is that will users be able to have the ability to change their 
Wayland servers on the fly? not only would such a thing allow the users to 
change functionality, but it will also help in the case if the Wayland server 
goes down, where the session is not lost. 

Will this have to happen in the apps themselves? If so, how would the apps 
"know" that the socket (or maybe even a new socket) is available for 
reconnect?
