Dynamic Configuration about nerve HOT 2 CLOSED

I'll let @igor47 comment on if we want to pursue dynamic reloading, but I think with the backend deduplication in synapse we just merged this becomes less of a pressing concern because you can do hitless nerve restarts by starting a second copy of nerve and then stopping the old one.

We pair this at Yelp with cron job that configures/restarts nerve every 5s and it works fantastically.

@ubiquitousthey, is the issue just hitless reloads or do you want dynamic configuration for a different reason?

I'm going to close this because I don't think that dynamic nerve/synapse configuration should be the goal going forward. I might reconsider if our current hitless system turns out not to scale (very possible given the design), in which case we'll work on it then.
