I am trying to follow  HowTo/Remove replica in a managed topology - FreeIPA to remove replica servers correctly.  However when I do this I am running into an error:

[andrew.meyer@infra-test-ipa ~]$ ipa topologysegment-del
Suffix name: domain
Segment name: freeipa01.east.gatewayblend.net-to-freeipa01.stl1.gatewayblend.net
ipa: ERROR: Server is unwilling to perform: Removal of Segment disconnects topology.Deletion not allowed.
[andrew.meyer@infra-test-ipa ~]$

However I came across this - 
Issue #6266: Cannot uninstall server in disconnected topology - freeipa - Pagure


Can I use the workaround or is there a better method?

In this case I do not have any topology disconnected:

[andrew.meyer@infra-test-ipa ~]$ ipa topologysegment-find domain --all
