Thanks for the KIP, Damian. It makes sense to avoid multiple rebalances during start-up. One issue with having this as a broker config is that it may be difficult to choose the right delay for all consumer groups. Can you elaborate a little more on why the first alternative (add a consumer config) was rejected? We bump protocol versions regularly (when it makes sense), so it would be good to get a bit more detail.
