3. Before persisting the object to storage, clear disabled alpha fields on create,
and on update if the existing object does not already have a value in the field.
This prevents new usage of the feature while it is disabled, while ensuring existing data is preserved.
The recommended place to do this is in the REST storage strategy's PrepareForCreate/PrepareForUpdate methods:
```go
func (frobberStrategy) PrepareForCreate(ctx genericapirequest.Context, obj runtime.Object) {

4. In validation, ensure the alpha field is not set if the feature gate is disabled (covers cases we might miss in the above):
4. In validation, validate the field if present:
```go
func ValidateFrobber(f *api.Frobber, fldPath *field.Path) field.ErrorList {
...
if utilfeature.DefaultFeatureGate.Enabled(features.Frobber2D) {
... normal validation of width field ...
} else if f.Width != nil {
allErrs = append(allErrs, field.Forbidden(fldPath.Child("width"), "disabled by feature-gate"))
if f.Width != nil {
... validation of width field ...
}
...
}
```
Eventually, the API machinery will handle a lot of these things automatically from
declarative inputs.
In future Kubernetes versions:
* if the feature progresses to beta or stable status, the feature gate can be removed or be enabled by default.
