you can exclude a specific component with metadata which i've done before, but mostly i've been happy with how it works. what sort of situation are you thinking of where you wouldn't want the component to restart, have you come across necessarily long-running components before?

here's the relevant bit of the docs https://github.com/tolitius/mount#recompiling-namespaces-with-running-states

the library itself is actually really nice, it results in a lot less code and configuration. i expect when systems get large and fine-grained control is needed it might get limiting, but i always find myself in microservice environments these days so it never seems to happen ¯\(ツ)/¯

convention over configuration and all that
