Allow to opt-out from Scorecard's olm-status-descriptors-test missing Status warning #6564
Description
Feature Request
Describe the problem you need a feature to resolve.
This feature request revolves around Scorecard's olm-status-descriptors-test, which generates warnings for Custom Resource Definitions lacking a .Status definition. This warning is intended to encourage authors to include a .Status section, even though it's not strictly mandatory 1.
However, a significant problem arises when pipelines relying on this test continue to produce warnings for CRDs that legitimately do not need a .Status section, requiring to inspect any report to verify if the warning is a new entry or the known one.
Describe the solution you'd like.
It would be beneficial to introduce an option for opting out of these warnings for specific CRDs.
Pros:
- Without any intentional intervention, the test will continue to promote best practices and adherence to conventions.
- In projects with multiple CRDs, the test can still be applied comprehensively to those that require and possess a
.Statussection.
Cons:
- The only potential downside is that once this decision is made, authors must remember to remove the opt-out code/flag if the CRD's requirements change.
