There's currently no policy on this, but I generally do believe it would make a lot of sense to automatically respawn most services when they crash. However, if we do this we probably need some additional infrastructure in place to that we have a nice place to dump information about the crash. And we need to figure out which services are good candidates for automatic respawning and which ones aren't.
