Telemetry Reports dynamic update

Hi All,
	I've been sort of silently reviewing the designs to telemetry reports 
design along with subscriptions. As I was reviewing it, I've had a 
couple of different design points come up and an interesting use case 
I've wanted to ask about. So here's my scenario:

I've set up a telemetry report to the system dynamically by querying the 
sensors and request the values are updated every second. The system was 
in a state where it was powered off, so not many sensors were available. 
After the system is powered on, more sensors are added as different 
devices are powered up. At this point I'd want to add the additional 
sensors to my report. I query the system again for all the available 
sensors and see thermal and power readings for the CPUs. I want updates 
on these every second just like my initial report.

This leads me to the following question:
Can I push a new report definition to the TelemetryService and have the 
event service start providing that new definition without tearing down 
the subscription first, which would leave a gap in the data?

Thanks,
Justin Thaler
