> The operator currently does not use optimistic locking on the CR when patching status. This worked because we always wanted to overwrite the status.
> With leader election and potentially two operators running at the same time, we are now exposed to some race conditions that were not previously present with the status update logic.
> To ensure that the operator always sees the latest status we should change our logic to optimistic locking with retries. If we get a lock error (resource updated) we check if only the spec changed and then retry locking on the new version.
