yes, but I agree we should do this from the VTY code.  At least all new
features we're adding should be more runtime vty based then thinking of
a config file that we parse once and then forget about it.

So when we get a 'bts type ...' command (or when we leave the BTS_NODE)
we should check if the respective sockets are needed.

But yes, another big long pending TODO is to think about how we can
make most or even all runtime config changes work.
