@atsikham Few questions:

1: This is not something needed for the K8s 1.22.4 upgrade right? 2: Would it make sense to split this in 3 separate tasks? On for each plugin. 3: Maybe this is redundant as we might want to disconinue support for 3 plugins? @erzetpe Maybe something consider for this deprecation plan you are working on?

[atsikham]

1. Right
2. Might be 2 - flannel and calico/canal
3. May be

[cicharka]

@atsikham and @erzetpe, as there is plan to create a spike about Calico deprecation do we still need to include Calico plugin in this upgrade ticket?

[erzetpe]

@cicharka Yes, as this is not planned for 1.3 or 2.0 release.

Please also ix documentation, since calico version provided in COMPONENTS.md file is not correct. Check this for all systems and both architectures.
