Do heroku's custom buildpacks not allow you to prevent restarting the dyno?

[eellson]

Not to my knowledge, Heroku claim to restart dynos on any release: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/dynos#automatic-dyno-r...

The buildpacks only define the content of the container, and what processes within that containter it can run.

On deploy, the containers are all being replaced.

Plus heroku regularly restarts dynos, I believe on a daily basis.
