Issue

OCP 4.21 catalog includes older (not planned to be supported) versions of our operators until the RHWA-4.21-0 release.

See below the current versions under this catalog for nhc as an example.

> opm render registry.redhat.io/redhat/redhat-operator-index:v4.21 | jq 'select(.schema == "olm.bundle" and .package=="node-healthcheck-operator")'.name
"node-healthcheck-operator.v0.3.1"
"node-healthcheck-operator.v0.4.1"
"node-healthcheck-operator.v0.6.1"
"node-healthcheck-operator.v0.7.0"
"node-healthcheck-operator.v0.8.1"
"node-healthcheck-operator.v0.8.2"
"node-healthcheck-operator.v0.9.0" 

Solution

Release an intermediate RHWA FBC catalog update for OCP 4.21 before its GA date (Feb 3, 2026) to clean the catalog of old versions and fill the 2-week gap before the main RHWA-4.21-0 release.

This kind of release can avoid confusion among customers regarding the available operator versions on the OCP 4.21 catalog until the RHWA-4.21-0 release on February 17th.
