E.g. for defaultServerList or preferredServerList, you would need to expand installers and ipa-replica-manage to handle these lists and update them when replica is added or updated to prevent it being outdated. printers or aliases serviceSearchDescriptor refers to objects not being available and so on. It is not as straightforward as it seems.
