Dylan Meissner updated FLINK-36744:
-----------------------------------
    Description: 
Starting with Flink Kubernetes Operator 1.7, the operator supports {_}only the 
last 4 Flink minor versions corresponding to the date of the operator 
release{_}.

This compatibility notice is hard to discover, and the mapping of versions to 
release dates is challenging for casual users and even platform teams to 
perform.

The deprecation information does exist in source code: 
[https://github.com/apache/flink-kubernetes-operator/blob/release-1.10/flink-kubernetes-operator-api/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/kubernetes/operator/api/spec/FlinkVersion.java#L25]

However, for best usability we should publish the last-four-versions policy and 
a history of versions in the operator's *Compatibility Guarantees* 
documentation: 
[https://nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-kubernetes-operator-docs-main/docs/operations/compatibility/]
