It would neither solve this problem (since we are not running then), nor is this somethign we can ever support. Watching config changes with inotify is calling for trouble, as there's no concept for file system transactions on Linux, and your daemon might end up rereading the configuration at the wrong time, for example, while a file is being moved around, and then you end up reading it twice under two names, or not at all.
