Hello,
I also think this is a great idea.
And basic_aggregator is probably a good candidate to experiment this
new feature because there should be not so many changes to do (mainly

Hi,
Adding a configuration reload is an excellent idea, and is one of the big

there should simply be a warning for the plugins that don't support
reconfiguration. On the other hand, maybe there should be the option to
restart
