The origin repo is using python 3.8 with ubi8. The samples operator library sync bumped it to python 3.9 because 3.8 is deprecated: https://catalog.redhat.com/software/containers/ubi8/python-38/5dde9cacbed8bd164a0af24a 

To do:

1. comment out the old Python 3.8-ubi8 section in s2i_images.go file

2. update test/extended/util/annotate/generated/zz_generated.annotations.go, then 
   make update-gofmt
   git add/git commit/git push

3. Once the first commit has been done, follow this with
   make verify
   This will result in another local change to test/extended/util/annotate/generated/zz_generated.annotations.go

   git add test/extended/util/annotate/generated/zz_generated.annotations.go/git commit/git push
   git rebase -i to squash the 2 commits
