ClusterServiceVersion objects are placed in all the namespaces

[kimuraos]

Describe the bug This is not a bug in Trident itself, but in PackageManifest on OpenShift OperatorHub.

Current PackageManifest specifies installModes as AllNamespaces only.

      installModes:
      - supported: true
        type: AllNamespaces

As the results, ClusterServiceVersion (CSV) objects are placed in all the namespaces:

$ oc get csv -A

Environment

• Trident version: 24.10.0
• Kubernetes orchestrator: OpenShift v4.16

To Reproduce Allways after installation of trident-operator on OpenShift.

Expected behavior Most of other operators provide selectable installModes like:

$ oc get packagemanifests nfd -n openshift-marketplace -o yaml

...
      displayName: Node Feature Discovery Operator
      installModes:
      - supported: true
        type: OwnNamespace
      - supported: true
        type: SingleNamespace
      - supported: false
        type: MultiNamespace
      - supported: false
        type: AllNamespaces
...

I believe ClusterServiceVersion should be placed in a namespace that the Trident operator will be installed. There is no need to place in other namespaces.

Additional context Current PackageManifest is as bellow:

$ oc get packagemanifests trident-operator -n openshift-marketplace -o yaml
