 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Changed
+
+- Reduce CRD size from `479KB` to `53KB` by accepting arbitrary YAML input instead of the underlying schema for the following fields ([#750]):
+  - `podOverrides`
+  - `affinity`
+
 ### Fixed
 
 - Include the global Kafka bootstrap service (not the rolegroup-specific) DNS record as SAN entry in the generated
   certificates used by Kafka. This allows you to access Kafka brokers secured using TLS via the global bootstrap
   service ([#741]).
