Log message:
	Don't delete an interface when it goes down, otherwise we (on Linux at least):
	1) Lose all configuration about it.  Because we get notified only about
	   changes.  So if no changes occur while down, we don't learn conf.
	
	2) Don't receive configuration updates while interface is down.  (e.g., address
	   change).
	
	An alternative (more expensive, but perhaps safer if the above aint correct) is
	to repull all conf when a new interface comes up.
