Please let me know if `openshift-metallb-system` is a default namespace, or if administrators can override and use any namespace.  Thanks.

you can overwrite it to whatever namespace, this is part of CSV is just doc section has no functional impact so in theory this BZ is not a bug

Comment 3 Arti Sood 2021-08-09 15:33:32 UTC

It is not matter of overwriting or overriding at all as the user can/needs to create a namespace for the operator for installing the operator whatever path he chooses - webconsole or manifest files. The user may not prefix the namespace with 'openshift' at all even though it is suggested.
