   The Topology method of server assignment has the same issue as direct assignment afaik, but it actually presents a greater process problem IMO, since the "Clone DS" functionality in TP wouldn't duplicate server assignments, but will now clone Topology assignment.
   
   > is this a big enough deal that we can't just have operators unassign the DS's topology or create the DS without one until ready to distribute the config?
   
   We could also just have had operators not assign servers until the DS config was ready for cache servers to receive it. The answer is that I'm not sure, but I don't think the situation has changed.
   
   On another note, this should be a draft for the moment. The changes it makes collide heavily with #5922 and I don't intend to update it until that PR is merged.
