controller-gen is constantly updating a kustomize manifest within the operator repository that is not used or referenced within the helm chart. This can result in the operator deployment getting out of sync with the operator itself as the current canonical way to install the operator is via the helm chart.
We need to come up with some way to ensure the two can't get out of sync either by design or automation. In some cases we won't be able to prevent the mistakes, such as overriding the image of the operator helm chart.
