Description

Goals:

  1. Eliminate current and prevent future side effects of dependency imports when importing APIs. (for example: see https://github.com/openshift/enhancements/blob/master/dev-guide/api-conventions.md#no-functions)
  2. Put up barriers to breaking changes. Once we reach v1.0.0, we MUST avoid breaking changes.

Breaking changes include:

  1. Anything that causes the go-apidiff job to fail. (see separate issues related to moving non-API Go code to an internal tree). The APIs will remain exported, so the go-apidiff job will ensure that our Go code defining the APIs is not breaking from a Go perspective.
  2. Anything that would cause Kubernetes clients to experience a breaking change when interacting with instances of our CRD via the Kubernetes apiserver.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked API conventions and the repository's go-apidiff job, then review the related issues about moving non-API Go code to an internal tree. Determine where the v1.0.0 APIs should live and how both Go compatibility and Kubernetes apiserver compatibility will be checked. Done means the API location and enforceable barriers are established without breaking either client type.
