GTM - Data Center destinations in Topology Records and Topology Load Balancing at the Wide IP level

I am hearing that when doing Topology based Load Balancing at the Wide IP level, your topology records using Data Centers as the Destination will be ignored. In fact, this is what I'm seeing with my own eyes. Why would this be the only Destination type that does not work with Topology LB'ing at the Wide IP level? It would be so very useful. Am I missing something?

    Nope. You're not missing anything. I discovered the same thing (After raising a ticket to ask why my topologies weren't working).

     

    It is documented however...

    I don't feel that this is clearly documented. It never says anything about using Datacenters at the "destination" being ignored, but that is exactly whats happens and it sounds like it confuses alot of people.
