The conversion webhook drops the following important fields when converting SMCP.status from v2 to v1:

• conditions
• components
• observedGeneration
• annotations

This means that upgrading the operator to 2.0 might break client tools that read the SMCP status using the maistra.io/v1 version of the resource.

This also causes the READY and STATUS columns to be empty when you run oc get servicemeshcontrolplanes.v1.maistra.io.
