Yup the core issue is that system_auth is not great from a HA perspective at the moment for new users.
Given the general opinion is that RF=N is not appropriate / too rife for abuse. Would something similar to min(rf=N, X per DC) be more appropriate? The only thing with that is implementing that replication strategy so it is aware of all current DCs sounds tricky (without looking into it) + I can imagine some gnarly corner cases / complexity with adding / removing DCs.
