While fixing the problem where "remap.config" gets reloaded automatically, we noticed it is related to the command "traffic_ctl config status". Some of us at the summit thinks that this command isn't useful, since the only thing it does is returning a status code to say some config files has been changed and a "traffic_ctl config reload" is required to make those changes take effect. However, it does NOT show which of the config files has been changed.
So we're proposing to remove this command, since it doesn't really do anything, and since it's run on a seperate thread by itself (check file changes and sleep for 1 second), we can also remove that thread as well.
