Hi folks,
The PR re-works the implementation in v1.6 to with a more robust solution using downward API. The downward API standard is currently under review in the kubernetes community:
https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/137086. Merging of this kubernetes PR is currently blocking kubevirt work.
The feature itself will stay in alpha, it will be hidden behind a feature gate, hence the risk of delayed merging is minimal.
It would be great to give some more time for this feature to make it in v1.8.
Thanks,
Alay
