Proposal:

• Add a subset of featuregates as part of a new “OKD” featureset (Default + selected features)
• Featureset is enabled by default for OKD clusters, allowing the features to be ON and the cluster to be upgradeable by default.

Reason:

• Offload testing for techpreview features to OKD
• Have customers try out new features by installing OKD on dev clusters which can then be upgraded unlike TechPreviewNoUpgrade
• Differentiate OKD from Openshift, while providing early signal for OCP.

Changes required:

• New API definition
• Add features which have stable/v1beta api to the featureset and exclude features with v1alpha api
• cluster-config-operator needs to set upgradeable to true when OKD featureset is enabled for OKD clusters
• CVO (Cluster-version-operator) needs to recognize the featureset in order to apply the respective manifests
• Manifests for new featureset need to be created for cluster-ingress-operator
• Run test suites and upgrade tests to make sure cluster stability is not affected.
• Document new OKD featureset and which features are enabled on OKD.
