Feature Request: Controller-Gen Compatibility

[shaneutt]

Currently in the Kong Kubernetes Ingress Controller (KIC) we use controller-gen as a generator for manifests and libraries within the project.

Currently types within this repository are not explicitly compatible due to Floats, and so the following flag has to be used:

allowDangerousTypes=true

The purpose of this issue is to ledger a request that we modify the types in a future go-kong release such that we would start intentionally maintaining explicit Kubernetes compatibility.

such that we would start intentionally maintaining explicit Kubernetes compatibility

go-kong is a wrapper for Kong's API and the ultimate requirement is that types maintain explicit Kong compatibility.
If there are multiple types satisfying the Kong compatibility requirement, we can add a style guideline to prefer types that are convenient with Kubernetes. But I think that it's Kong that matters here most, not Kubernetes.

won't fix - this is a direct consequence of the type on Admin API

As @rainest pointed out, this is "dangerous" because roundtripping isn't reliable for floats.
