It might help some users who are upgrading and already had 
pipewire-media-service installed but isn't really a solution. The first 
option in the recommend is wireplumber so new install will default to 
that one. Also if wireplumber is the recommended session manager letting 
user get it is probably right

No suggestion sorry, I don't know pipewire well enough for that. I tried 
to ask on their IRC channel yesterday, Wim basically suggested that the 
right way to keep pulseaudio in charge of audio was to not load the alsa 
and bluetooth monitors by changing the configuration, maybe that's the 
right thing to do until we decide to make pipewire replace pulseaudio?
