+Starting in v1.19, a CustomResourceDefinition can indicate a particular version of the resource it defines is deprecated.
+When API requests to a deprecated version of that resource are made, a warning message is returned in the API response as a header.
+The warning message for each deprecated version of the resource can be customized if desired.
+
+A customized warning message should indicate the deprecated API group, version, and kind,
+and should indicate what API group, version, and kind should be used instead, if applicable.
