bq.  if we cannot Read or write to a KS why allow creating it?

Because that's how you add them for new DCs, with an rf of zero until you have the nodes in place.

Because that's how you add them for new DCs, and you might want to add this keyspace only to a new DC that hasn't bootstrapped in yet.

> Easily repro'd by running stress with a ridiculous rf:
> # tools/bin/cassandra-stress -n 100000 -i 1 -o insert -l123456
> We're supposed to allow creation of a ks where the rf exceeds the amount of nodes, but we shouldn't be able to write to it.
