> Using services for path references has two distinct disadvantages:
> * It makes it difficult or impossible to detect changes (the only way to change a path is to restart the service)
> * If a path consumer is not a service, it is difficult to use path values
> What we should have instead is have a registration mechanism so that when a path is used, the reference is tracked in the model.  This lets us detect backreferences in the event where a path is to be deleted.  This would also enable us to send a notification when a path is changed, so that changing a path also causes an update or "refresh" on all referencing domain attributes.  This way, for example, if I change the base path for the log directory, all the log handlers can automatically be updated as well as part of the same operation, using their existing update logic.
