The regular routing table suffers from the same affliction so it really
does kinda effect everything...

Yes, the channel should be destroyed, but the current version of the
jnodeos doesn't make destroy() publicly available and it doesn't have a
finalizer to kill it either (hmm... need to fix that).

You're supposed to be able to delete them while the flow is running.  So,
the inevitable synchronization problems will just have to be fixed.
