I'm running F25 inside a wayland session, and for curiosity i tried to restart gnome-shell with Alt+F2 / r.
This is rejected by a popup "Restart is not available on Wayland".
Really?
Kind regards

Yes. That would be the same as restarting Xorg in a regular X11 session. You would lose your whole session. So you could as well just relogin.

Yeah. There was a bug filed about this and eventually closed as needing to be fixed upstream, because it really requires gnome-shell to be split into two separate processes. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1367666 (but please don't add noise there; I don't think that will be constructive).
