Yes.

Interesting idea. We haven't thought about it in this way.

The idea is, you usually want to update existing files, let's say 
/etc/hosts, /etc/sudoers and after you decide you'll handle the changes 
in another way and remove the files from the config channel, you do not 
want to remove these files completely.

I'd suggest to remove your files via remote commands.
