Merge options

[christopherparo]

Are there plans to add support for this similar to what is in the original p/t feature?

Apologies if this is already supported and I missed it somewhere.

I'm hoping we can avoid it.

Functions use server side apply (SSA) to apply their desired state. SSA is supposed to be able to handle merging arrays and objects correctly. The only catch is that the merge strategy needs to be configured for each type of custom resource (e.g. for each Crossplane MR) at the schema level. We've made some progress toward that per crossplane/upjet#300.
