Should ConfigManagingActor send an empty dict on file deletion?

[llucax]

Right now the ConfigManagingActor is monitoring for delete events, but ignoring them, which doesn't seem very reasonable.

I guess if a config file was removed we could signal that by sending either an empty dict or None. If we really want to ignore deletions, then maybe we shouldn't monitor for create and delete events.

empty dict

I'm voting for an empty dict. Its important that apps know that the config vars are gone and thus the actors are suppose to fallback to their defaults (default behaviour).

Created an issue about it (#972).
