While planning an OpenShift cluster upgrade from 4.18 to 4.19, we observed that the default version of the 3scale Operator available in the OperatorHub changes unexpectedly:

• On OpenShift 4.18, the default 3scale Operator version is 2.15.

• On OpenShift 4.19, the default 3scale Operator version is 2.14.

This raises a concern about whether 3scale Operator 2.15 is supported on OCP 4.19, and whether the downgrade is intentional or a packaging/catalog issue.

This impacts our cluster upgrade path since workloads currently rely on 3scale Operator 2.15. Confirmation of supportability and a clear upgrade path are needed before proceeding.
