Meaning, why not just do `replaceTrack(null)` and later `replaceTrack(newTrack)`? Good question; I think the only real difference is the directional attribute in SDP, which could affect some things.

The only way right now is with `transceiver.stop`, as far as I know.

If we want to change the way senders' and receivers' tracks relate (which I tried to summarize here: https://github.com/w3c/webrtc-pc/issues/1169), it may still be be possible since Chrome/Firefox haven't implemented it yet. But it would be a somewhat significant change to the spec.
