I think it makes sense when "includes" are changed, but, I'm wondering if it
makes sense to reload the remap file when a specific config file for a plugin
is changed.
Shouldn't a plugin config file change limit to reloading the plugin (or even
just the config file for that plugin) as opposed to reloading the entire remap
config?
Thanks,

There is an issue surrounding remap reloading when includes and plugin
config files are used. These will not trigger a remap reload on their
own. I think at this point everyone uses their external management
tools to issue a touch to the remap file to trigger a reload to
happen, but it's a bit of a work-around.
I'm proposing adding an API that will allow plugins to register their
config files to be monitored in the same way that remap and records
are currently monitored. When a traffic_ctl config reload is issued,
if one of these files has changed that can also trigger a remap
reload.
I have a POC going currently where I can add an arbitrary file to
trigger the reload but got to the point of looking at the API so
figured I would send out a list message for any ideas/concerns/etc
