Description Arda Guclu 2022-04-27 11:58:10 UTC 
Description of problem:

When running kubectl from oc-4.9.18-linux.tar.gz (which is downloaded from https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/290/ver=4.8/rhel---8/4.9.18/x86_64/product-software) we are seeing the following version details.

$ /tmp/kubectl version
Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"21", GitVersion:"v0.21.0-beta.1", GitCommit:"3f16530f0bb938bef95b705f6d235e29a892b176", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2022-01-21T18:20:08Z", GoVersion:"go1.16.6", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}
Server Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"22", GitVersion:"v1.22.3+e790d7f", GitCommit:"3a0f2c90b43e6cffd07f57b5b78dd9f083e47ee2", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2021-12-14T02:10:38Z", GoVersion:"go1.16.6", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}
WARNING: version difference between client (0.21) and server (1.22) exceeds the supported minor version skew of +/-1

OpenShift Container Platform 4.9 is based on `kubernetes` 1.22 and therefore the `Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"21"` does not appear to be reported as expected (Minor is expected at 22 and not 21).

Further we are seeing `GitVersion:"v0.21.0-beta.1"` which does indicate that we might be using some Beta level software. This can be confusing to the customer and we should therefore evaluate whether this is correct or not and potentially fix this.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

 - OpenShift Container Platform 4.9

How reproducible:

 - Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download the `oc.tar.gz` from https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/290/ver=4.9/rhel---8/4.9.18/x86_64/product-software
2. Extract the `oc` and `kubectl` binary and run `kubectl version`

Actual results:

$ /tmp/kubectl version
Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"21", GitVersion:"v0.21.0-beta.1", GitCommit:"3f16530f0bb938bef95b705f6d235e29a892b176", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2022-01-21T18:20:08Z", GoVersion:"go1.16.6", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}
Server Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"22", GitVersion:"v1.22.3+e790d7f", GitCommit:"3a0f2c90b43e6cffd07f57b5b78dd9f083e47ee2", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2021-12-14T02:10:38Z", GoVersion:"go1.16.6", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}
WARNING: version difference between client (0.21) and server (1.22) exceeds the supported minor version skew of +/-1

Expected results:
