-The `distributions` directory contains manifests for specific, opinionated distributions of Kubeflow, and will be phased out during the 1.4 release, [since going forward distributions will maintain their manifests on their respective external repositories](https://github.com/kubeflow/community/blob/master/proposals/kubeflow-distributions.md).

-The `docs`, `hack`, and `tests` directories will also be gradually phased out.

-Starting from Kubeflow 1.3, all components should be deployable using `kustomize` only. Any automation tooling for deployment on top of the manifests should be maintained externally by distribution owners.
