+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1738256 +++ https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LopVzuX2nPVlS4IHkOsUNBuVOeAdkBQ92wkaVB2kTwU/edit#heading=h.sr1qkxck5lv0 We do have indication in progressing reason field even though it is kept at false when import failures occur.
waiting on https://github.com/openshift/cluster-samples-operator/pull/164 to merge before cherrypicking the 4.2 version of this fix into 4.1
