-	// In Openshift 4.3, when cluster comes up, the following happens
-	// 1. After the openshift-apiserver pod is started, its log contains multiple occurrences of `certificate has expired or is not yet valid`
-	// 2. Initially there is no request-header's client-ca crt available to `extension-apiserver-authentication` configmap
-	// 3. In the pod logs `missing content for CA bundle "client-ca::kube-system::extension-apiserver-authentication::requestheader-client-ca-file"`
-	// 4. After ~1 min /etc/kubernetes/static-pod-resources/kube-apiserver-certs/configmaps/aggregator-client-ca/ca-bundle.crt is regenerated
-	// 5. It is now also appear to `extension-apiserver-authentication` configmap as part of request-header's client-ca content
-	// 6. Openshift-apiserver is able to load the CA which was regenerated
-	// 7. Now apiserver pod log contains multiple occurrences of `error x509: certificate signed by unknown authority`
-	// When the openshift-apiserver is in this state, the cluster is non functional.
-	// A restart of the openshift-apiserver pod is enough to clear that error and get a working cluster.
-	// This is a work-around while the root cause is being identified.
