Comment 4 Nick Hale 2021-01-26 20:22:35 UTC

After some deliberation with the team, we've come to the conclusion that this is a backwards compatibility and/or docs issue with SDK. 

- https://github.com/operator-framework/operator-sdk/issues/4439
- https://github.com/operator-framework/operator-sdk/issues/4438

It makes sense for OLM to switch to the new location -- while still supporting the old -- in master and for new releases, but any attempt to backport a patch would amount to supporting forwards compatibility with SDK; something that doesn't seem feasible overall.

Additionally, this low priority bug has two distinct workarounds at the operator author scope.
