Looks like this is due to one of - advanced-cluster-management.test-rmwfj-ns.yaml - couchbase-enterprise.test-rqfzf.yaml - portworx-essentials.openshift-operators.yaml that are installed in console-operator e2e tests.
Not only in ci/prow/e2e-aws-operator (see above), but also in the normal e2e-gcp/aws jobs v1beta1 CRDs show up, this time: cat *audit* | grep system:serviceaccount:openshift-operator-lifecycle-manager:olm-operator-serviceaccount | grep apiextensions.k8s.io/v1beta1 | jq .requestURI | sort | uniq "/apis/apiextensions.k8s.io/v1beta1/customresourcedefinitions" "/apis/apiextensions.k8s.io/v1beta1/customresourcedefinitions/kafkabridges.kafka.strimzi.io" "/apis/apiextensions.k8s.io/v1beta1/customresourcedefinitions/kafkaconnectors.kafka.strimzi.io" "/apis/apiextensions.k8s.io/v1beta1/customresourcedefinitions/kafkaconnects.kafka.strimzi.io" "/apis/apiextensions.k8s.io/v1beta1/customresourcedefinitions/kafkaconnects2is.kafka.strimzi.io" "/apis/apiextensions.k8s.io/v1beta1/customresourcedefinitions/kafkamirrormaker2s.kafka.strimzi.io" "/apis/apiextensions.k8s.io/v1beta1/customresourcedefinitions/kafkamirrormakers.kafka.strimzi.io" "/apis/apiextensions.k8s.io/v1beta1/customresourcedefinitions/kafkarebalances.kafka.strimzi.io" "/apis/apiextensions.k8s.io/v1beta1/customresourcedefinitions/kafkas.kafka.strimzi.io" "/apis/apiextensions.k8s.io/v1beta1/customresourcedefinitions/kafkatopics.kafka.strimzi.io" "/apis/apiextensions.k8s.io/v1beta1/customresourcedefinitions/kafkausers.kafka.strimzi.io"
This is a duplicate of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1958296 OLM is explicitly aware of and still needs to write these deprecated APIs in 4.8 in order to give optional operators a way to migrate to the v1 versions of these APIs. We (OLM) are going to explicitly subsume this warning as part of the work we are doing for the above bugzilla. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1958296 ***
