The uuid store is in for some time. I have branch with a wayland 
protocol extension to pass the uuid arround which I can push in later 
today or tomorrow.
What is still missing the re-connect handling, keeping apps alive and 
making sure they come back correctly when the compositor comes back.

As I will be mostly offline for the next three weeks starting from 
tomorrow afternoon this has to wait until beginning of August. Given 
this is wayland only right now it should be within the scope for wayland 
fixes in the freeze. EFL 1.15 needs to be out before e20 in any case.
