Is my understand correct ?

Yes. But the main problem is that generally the infrastructure for
adding/removing channels during reconfigure is insufficient to handle
that properly. Protocol-specific code can decide whether
to force-restart channel in e.g. bgp_channel_reconfigure() for channel
reconfiguration, but not for channel add/remove.

Although it could be probably hacked in general bgp_reconfigure() hook.
