The `Namespace` definition in `1.5.0` is the following:

```auto
# Source: eck-operator/templates/operator-namespace.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Namespace
metadata:
  name: elastic-system
  labels:
    name: elastic-system
    control-plane: elastic-operator
    app.kubernetes.io/version: "1.5.0"

```

In `1.6.0` it becomes as follows:

```auto
# Source: eck-operator/templates/operator-namespace.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Namespace
metadata:
  name: elastic-system
  labels:
    name: elastic-system

```

Is the removal of those 2 labels intentional?

```auto
    control-plane: elastic-operator
    app.kubernetes.io/version: "1.5.0"

```

Yes this was an intentional change to remove an incompatibility with istio. See [Istio sidecar is not injected into operator automatically · Issue #4395 · elastic/cloud-on-k8s · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/cloud-on-k8s/issues/4395) for context.

I had no problem injecting `istio` with `1.5.0`. (I am in the process of upgrading to `1.6.0`)

This (`1.5.0`) was my first installation (the version I started with) however (not an upgrade) fwiw.

```auto
▶ istioctl version --remote
client version: 1.9.4
control plane version: 1.9.5
data plane version: 1.9.5 (116 proxies)
                                                                                                                                                                                      2h15m
