OPM render-template utilizing semver templates say in the docs they will generate the replaces statements for y-stream upgrades when generating minor channels. We noticed during development of the LVM Operator FBC, OPM does not generate y-stream upgrade paths for OLM to process when generating minor versions such as is done with platform aligned operator versioning.

Tested on OPM 1.59.0

    100%

    1. Use a semver template that generate minor channels and has multiple y-stream versions in it
    2. run 'opm alpha render-template semver...'
    3. Notice how no "replaces" statements or skip ranges are set in the resulting catalog
    

Skip ranges set on the latest version OR replaces statements set on the latest version.
