   Hi @tedhtchang !
   
   I have a few general concerns regarding this PR and whether this should be part of the official documentation:
   
    1. The Flink Operator package on operatorhub is not endorsed by the community and therefore the documentation itself gives a false impression about this.
    2. Since the operatorhub package doesn't use the Helm chart included and tested part of the official release process, there is no guarantee that it will work correctly. Which ties back to 1)
    3. This documentation will become obsolete the moment a new minor/patch version is released and based on 1 & 2 it's not clear who will be responsible for updating it after a release
   
   I think before we proceed with this we need to discuss and make a decision as a community whether the OperatorHub integration is something that we want to pursue. This is a decision which could have a big impact on our release process.
   
   In a sense this is somewhat similar to DockerHub integration itself. The curicial difference in that case is that we publish the images that were already tested and endorsed by the community as the last step in the release process.
   
   On the other hand since OperatorHub doesn't use the Helm chart directly this would mean preparing the operatorhub resources also as part of the release process and testing them before we can publish them.
