Hi @jm-franc. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the kubernetes-sigs/prow repository.

Excellent work @jm-franc, thank you!

I left some suggestions in the comments, feel free to use them or tweak them further. I skipped the sections that are needed for Beta, since we're still a ways off (even the Alpha ones may be premature).

I think we can merge the end result as-is, and then work with the sig to get it to the implementable state.

Thank you for all those suggestions Patryk, I've merged all of them. I'm now sending this KEP for review.
