Thanks David! That makes sense. I will keep an eye on the kafka release notes for the support of this in the future if possible.

The main reason for this is we don't have a way to change a KRaft broker into a combined KRaft broker + controller. It is probably possible, and may be supported at some point, but for now we're focusing on getting the migration feature polished for production use cases. Thanks!
