Every time

1. Deploy a cluster
2. Boot up a pod under a namespace
3. $ cat 4.create.abp_static_bar1.yaml  later apply said policy

4. confirm policy in place: $ oc getadminpolicybasedexternalroutes.k8s.ovn.org 
NAME           LAST UPDATE   STATUS
first-policy   

5. But wow do we test the policies status? 
The doc's guide doesn't help much:  $ oc describeadminpolicybasedexternalroutes.k8s.ovn.org <name> | tail -n 6 

$ oc describe adminpolicybasedexternalroutes.k8s.ovn.org first-policy

Noting regarding policy status shows up, if this is even supported at all, other than fixing the doc, if there is a way to view the status it should be documented. One more thing if there is indeed a policy status shouldn't it also populate the status column here:

$ oc get adminpolicybasedexternalroutes.k8s.ovn.org 
NAME           LAST UPDATE   STATUS
first-policy                   ^ 

Asking as on another bug https://issues.redhat.com/browse/OCPBUGS-22706, I recreated a situation where the status should have reported an error yet it never did nor does it update the above table, come to think of it the last update column too has never exposed any data either, in which case why do we even have these two columns to begin with?
