 # Kubebuilder Project Roadmap 2024
 
-### **(Major Release for Kubebuilder CLI 4.x)** Removing Deprecated Plugins for Enhanced Maintainability and User Experience
-
-**Status:** :construction: Work in Progress
-  - **Remove Deprecations**:https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/issues/3603
-  - **Bump Module**: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/3924
-
-**Objective:** To remove all deprecated plugins from Kubebuilder to improve project maintainability and
-enhance user experience. This initiative also includes updating the project documentation to provide clear
-and concise information, eliminating any confusion for users. **More Info:** [GitHub Discussion #3622](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/discussions/3622)
-
-**Motivation:** By focusing on removing deprecated plugins—specifically, versions or kinds that can no
-longer be supported—we aim to streamline the development process and ensure a higher quality user experience.
-Clear and updated documentation will further assist in making development workflows more efficient and less prone to errors.

-### Proposal Pending: Seeking Feedbacks for kube-rbac-proxy's Role in Default Scaffold
-
-**Status:** :white_check_mark: Complete but Seek Contributors and help with the next steps, see: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/issues/3871
-
-- **Resolution**: The usage of kube-rbac-proxy has been discontinued from the default scaffold. We plan to provide other helpers to protect the metrics endpoint. Furthermore, once the project is accepted under kubernetes-sig or kubernetes-auth, we may contribute to its maintainer in developing an external plugin for use with projects built with Kubebuilder.
-   - **Proposal**: [https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/blob/master/designs/discontinue_usage_of_kube_rbac_proxy.md](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/blob/master/designs/discontinue_usage_of_kube_rbac_proxy.md)
-   - **PR**: [https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/3899](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pull/3899)
-   - **Communication**: [https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/discussions/3907](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/discussions/3907)
-
-**Objective:** Evaluate potential modifications or the exclusion of [kube-rbac-proxy](https://github.com/brancz/kube-rbac-proxy)
-from the default Kubebuilder scaffold in response to deprecations and evolving user requirements.
-
-**Context:** [kube-rbac-proxy](https://github.com/brancz/kube-rbac-proxy) , a key component for securing Kubebuilder-generated projects,
-faces significant deprecations that impact automatic certificate generation.
-For more insights into these challenges, see [Issue #3524](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/issues/3524).
-
-This situation necessitates a reevaluation of its inclusion and potentially prompts users to
-adopt alternatives like cert-manager by default. Additionally, the requirement to manually rebuild
-[kube-rbac-proxy images—due](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/blob/master/RELEASE.md#to-build-the-kube-rbac-proxy-images)
-to its external status from Kubernetes-SIG—places a considerable maintenance
-burden on Kubebuilder maintainers.
-
-**Motivations:**
-- Address kube-rbac-proxy breaking changes/deprecations.
-  - For further information: [Issue #3524 - kube-rbac-proxy warn about deprecation and future breaking changes](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/issues/3524)
-- Feedback from the community has highlighted a preference for cert-manager's default integration, aiming security with Prometheus and metrics.
-  - More info: [GitHub Issue #3524 - Improve scaffolding of ServiceMonitor](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/issues/3657)
-- Desire for kube-rbac-proxy to be optional, citing its prescriptive nature.
-  - See: [Issue #3482 - The kube-rbac-proxy is too opinionated to be opt-out.](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/issues/3482)
-- Reduce the maintainability effort to generate the images used by Kubebuilder projects and dependency within third-party solutions.
-  - Related issues:
-    - [Issue #1885 - use a NetworkPolicy instead of kube-rbac-proxy](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/issues/1885)

-#### Distribution via Kustomize
+**Objective:** Update Kubebuilder's controller scaffolding to align with the latest changes
+in controller-runtime, focusing on compatibility and addressing recent updates and deprecations
+mainly related to webhooks.
 
-**Status:** :white_check_mark: Complete
+**Context:** Kubebuilder's plugin system is designed for stability, yet it depends on controller-runtime,
+which is evolving rapidly with versions still under 1.0.0. Notable changes and deprecations,
+especially around webhooks, necessitate Kubebuilder's alignment with the latest practices
+and functionalities of controller-runtime. We need update the Kubebuilder scaffolding,
+samples, and documentation.
 
-- **Resolution**: As of release ([v3.14.0](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/releases/tag/v3.14.0)), Kubebuilder includes enhanced support for project distribution. Users can now scaffold projects with a `build-installer` makefile target. This improvement enables the straightforward deployment of solutions directly to Kubernetes clusters. Users can deploy their projects using commands like:
