Not so much a new feature as a 'Please don't lose the old functionality.'
As of a couple of weeks ago there were some fairly major changes in the way favourites are handled in Leia.
11967 (PR)
The idea is that favourites are kept in memory rather than being reloaded from favourites.xml eachtime they're needed.
That sounds great, more efficient, probably has a ton of advantages that I can't think of. There are times, though, when it would be useful to be able to reload the favourites from favourites.xml. At the moment the only way I can see to do that is by restarting kodi (or presumably changing profiles).
So the request is basically for an equivalent function to 'reloadkeymaps' for favourites.
I doubt many people will even notice the lost functionality, but for me being able to edit favourites manually is something I've found really useful.
