Make visible if a Directive is not in use by any Rule

Description
Make visible if a directive is not in use by a rule. If I delete a rule but I forget to delete the directive used by that rule, the directive will be there forever.
Proposal: mark a directive red if it's not in use by any rule.

That's an interesting idea, and does not seems very hard to do.
Jon, what do you thing about it? It could nicelly complete the "directive <-> rule" link enhancement going on with 2.9 ?
For now, the idea is to make the directive looks like disabled directive, and have in the tooltop the reason why it's greased.
Updated look:
- disable directive are greyed
- not used one are in italic.
See !Rudder - Directives Management - 2013-12-11_11.51.25.png!
Well, my personnal feeling is that italic and normal don't differentiate much.
Here is a version with "bold" in place of "normal" weight for assigned and enabled directive.
I agree that italic and normal look too much the same. Another idea would be to use <del>strikethrough</del> for unused directives.
Well, even with bold, the diff is not really clear. Let's test with an "warning" icon.

And a new version with "warning" logo.
That seems a little scary in my demo, because almost no directive are used, but it could be nice in a real Rudder installation.
