You got me at "simplify".

Regarding 1) if we move the DebugService to the frontend then debug sessions will have even more reasons to be destroyed. If we want persistence of those, we need to at least persist the debug adapter processes in the backend. 

If the debug adapter is started when the debug session is started, it will go away with the session (as is should, because any new sessions will start a new copy). If it is started outside of debugger control (running as a resident process available via socket, for example), it will still be there when we come back, no?
