I agree, but as answered in another thread there are (staying on

to stop pools and so on.
IOW we would need for these cases a composite operation to remove
(nicely) and re-add a resource with all attributes cloned except the
changed ones.
Maybe that's what it looks like on the back end. But there's absolutely
nothing which would prevent the operation handler from doing this FOR you.
Remember that other than for adding extensions, there's never a reason
to shut down the whole server for a change to take effect. In many
cases, restarting the service will suffice, and it will automatically
take care of dependencies for you.
That said, you may not always want that to happen, and especially not
for a simple attribute change, at least without the user's informed
consent. So we might need to discuss that if we haven't already done so
in a different forum.
Probably we need this kind of operations not only for ds and it have
to
be designed considering also the effort guys are doing for nice shutdown
of the server.
