Stop 'k rollout restart deploy' from restarting everything?

Anyway, I haven’t checked for sure as I’m away from laptop but it should be possible to use something like Kyverno to block that operation. We had to do similar in the past to hotfix a bug in our CLI tool. I wrote a blog post about it that might give you an idea: https://www.giantswarm.io/blog/restricting-cluster-admin-permissions

Did I miss something here, regarding network policies and helm templates? (Slightly ranty)

You do still have to create a policy for every namespace, but don't have to worry about labeling individual pods. We're starting to move to Helm/kustomize for our namespaces to deploy default things like network policies to each one, and we're also starting to use kyverno more, which I think is a little more purpose built for this type of thing than metacontroller is.
kubernetes provider resources v1 vs non-v1 is it just me or is this dumb?

I knew it was unsupported so about 6 months ago I had started an effort to switch to Kyverno, which is far better and actually supported. The version of Kyverno I was using had a v1beta1 AdmissionController. Fortunately that was in a helm chart so easily caught by pluto before my upgrade.
