The DS website mentions two possible risks
- possible loss of changes on deleted replica should these have not been 
reflected to some other replicas
- if some offline replica comes back online, it may re-pollute the RUVs back

I'm not sure of the probability of the second scenario, in my rather 
simple environment the re-pollution did not happen.
