• Needs an update to 4.11 Release as a change in documentation.

Bugzilla description - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2100390
In the documentation:
https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.10/openshift_images/configuring-samples-operator.html#samples-operator-bootstrapped

It is mentioned that "However, if the Cluster Samples Operator also detects an OpenShift Container Platform global proxy is configured, it bypasses those checks.
Important:
IPv6 installations are not currently supported by registry.redhat.io. The Cluster Samples Operator pulls most of the sample image streams and images from registry.redhat.io."

But the documentation also specifies this:
"The Cluster Samples Operator is bootstrapped as Managed by default or if global proxy is configured."

Hence Cluster Samples Operator will bootstrap itself as removed. This is the expected behavior.

Conclusion: Here IPv6 supersedes all. If it is ipv6 we say it is inaccessible / mark removed regardless.

There is a slight confusion in documentation, which needs this update: "However, if the Cluster Samples Operator detects that it is on an IPv6 network and an OpenShift Container Platform global proxy is configured, then IPv6 check supersedes all the checks. As a result, the Cluster Samples Operator bootstraps itself as `Removed`."
