Comment 1 Christian Huffman 2019-08-22 18:18:47 UTC
I believe we already define a Reason if the operator encounters an error. See the following from the cluster storage operator. This is in release-4.1 and subsequent versions:

 	// if error is anything other than unsupported platform, we are degraded
	if err != nil {
		if err != unsupportedPlatformError {
			degraded := configv1.ClusterOperatorStatusCondition{
				Type:    configv1.OperatorDegraded,
				Status:  configv1.ConditionTrue,
				Reason:  "Error",
				Message: err.Error(),
			}

I have submitted https://github.com/openshift/cluster-storage-operator/pull/46 to include default Reason strings on the other statuses.
