Is Wireplumber going to replace pipewire-media-session in the future?

Is this one going to replace the original pipewire-media-session?

I have noticed that I can switch audio output devices with no problem via Wireplumber on Gnome40. In pipewire-media-session, I have to disable the restore-stream in the config file.

My understanding of pipewire-media-session is that it's actually an example session that everyone uses by default with multiple hardcoded values, and wireplumber is extensible (by some sort of scripting lang, can't remember).

That is to say, I assume the answer to your question is likely "yes" at some point in time, it feels like the right move.
