Hi Christo, I agree with you. Option 4.1 without a KIP seems like an acceptable starting point for something which will be relatively rare, provided that it’s easy for the user to get a list of the topics that have to be deleted before they can successfully start the broker with TS turned off.
Option 4.2 in the future with a KIP improves things later on.
