--dhcp-hostsdir --dhcp-optsdir and --hostsdir work in much the same way

be sent. Note that the old data from the files is not discarded when
this is done: if a file gets modified, then it gets re-read but data

Why is deleting not happening when the file is reread?
this facility is useful for adding hosts to the configuration without
the upheaval of a full SIGHUP re-read. Anytime you want to delete stuff,
SIGHUP is still needed.
In other words, what is the reasoning behind requiring SIGHUP to delete
stuff?
