@c0dec0dec0de @luis_in_brief @ariadne auto-reload only makes sense if every possible change you could do touches a single file only. That might be fine for trivial services. But for anything even remotely more complex than hello world you might need to edit two config files, a service file or two, and you really don't want anything to load the cfg while you are just half-way done.

Explicit configuration reload is a *good* thing, it allows you to schedule application of multiple changes as one

@pid_eins @c0dec0dec0de @luis_in_brief @ariadne Not only that, I also reflexively save multiple times while editing config files, often with them in unworkable intermediate states.

@dalias @pid_eins good points, I wasn’t wholly serious, but these are valid arguments.
