We have a pretty good idea of what happened. This is absolutely a regression and will have to be fixed. Verification should be fairly straightforward.
Setting priority to urgent since this is a blocker for OSD testing.
I have manually tested the behaviour of 4.7 and compared it with 4.6. For the case that this bug was made for and edge cases such as bringing down axillary operator pods, the ocs-operator in 4.7 behaves the same way as it did in 4.6.
