Well the replication changelog can not be used for anything else but the 
multimaster replication plugin.  If a customer increased the replication 
purge delay you could potentially run into issues, but again this only 
comes into play when a replica is down for a very long time.  I'm not 
sure if IPA even provides the option to adjust the replication purge 
delay, but that doesn't mean a customer can not adjust these settings on 
their own.
