Ownerreferences no longer added to resources deployed through operator

[HumairAK]

Hello, it seems this feature was initially added here but was later removed here in exchange for annotations. I also can't seem to find why this was changed. We found ownerreferences useful because we use ArgoCD to deploy our kfdefs and ArgoCD uses owner-references to draw out relationships (and possibly other logic) between the resources being deployed by the operator. Now Argocd only sees the kfdef and none of the components' resources being deployed. e.g.

vs:

Is this something that can be re-added?

I think the reason why it's been removed it is pretty much described in the PR (parent to the removal commit you linked, @HumairAK): #411.

It all leads to this upstream kubernetes issue kubernetes/kubernetes#65200 which will be fixed in kubernetes 1.20)

We use OCP, and I have no idea if the problem is actually present on our platform at all or not.
