Status: IN
Multiple OpenShift subsystems follow a common pattern where capability beyond the default platform requires explicit, multi-component enablement: service mesh needs multiple operators (mesh + Kiali + tracing) with multi-tenant SMCP, while observability requires separate admin action for user workload monitoring and distributed tracing — neither is automatic despite being platform-integrated.
depth-2 — both mesh and advanced observability share the explicit-enablement-beyond-defaults pattern
