On the other hand, there is nothing in Wayland that prevents anyone from writing a compositor that splits off some window management tasks to a separate process. Afaik nobody has bothered to do so yet, but if there is demand then it could be done. Or maybe there isn't that much demand for such thing.

The blog post mentions Wayfire, which has a plugin architecture, so not separate processes but an abstraction boundary at least - which is the more important thing.
