Based on Hosted Che call today, decisions are:

• today, continue to use KIPO to deploy Che KIP [resolve this issue as won't do]
• soon, deprecate Che KIP and set KIPO to deploy CRW KIP instead (we don't need both, and it's better to have the stable prod'tzed version) 19656
• in parallel, work on updating the KIPO and KIP so that it can be preloaded with the list of RELATED_IMAGES from the Che/CRW operator CSV, so that user experience is one click to enable the KIPO, rather than having to manually add the list of images to pull. 19657
• See also 18378 and 18570

Two things need to be verified here, once implemented in upstream (schedule TBD):

• CRW operator deploys KIPO community operator, which then installs CRW KIP image: https://github.com/eclipse/che/issues/19656
• KIP image can automatically pull CRW images w/o needing user input (preloaded from CRW operator CSV's RELATED_IMAGES_* env vars): https://github.com/eclipse/che/issues/19657
