Comment (by axeld):

 As a developer of those applications, you only need a working network
 session, and then can exchange all of Haiku during runtime. I know that I
 used PC to kill vital services before, at least :-)

 The input_server should actually be restarted already (app_server should
 take care about that), but restarting the registrar doesn't really make
 much sense at this point, as all user apps would be inaccessible for that
 new registrar. In any case, we will switch to a launch daemon type
 approach one day that will also take care of restarting vital system
 services.

 Maybe ProcessController is too powerful to be included in the default
 distribution, though.
