Review comment:
       The fundamental issue is that the assignor is not idempotent nor free of 
any side effects (e.g. custom ones) so running it and ignoring the new 
assignment would lead to a weird state for the group. This is briefly discussed 
in the KIP, see rejected alternatives. I have updated the comment in the 
GroupCoordinator to stress out this point. Does this work for you?
