Followup work from today's automation/release exercise is in #16732

[nickboldt]

Che server pieces are not yet done -- misunderstood @mkuznyetsov 's comments in slack.

So... @tolusha since your operator and chectl steps are not fully ready to be hands-free, you can push them after he confirms Che server pieces are done.

Or we can wait until after tomorrow's discussion re: how to improve the scripts/automation for consumption inside cico_release.sh script.

[mkuznyetsov]

Che server bits have been pushed to Quay & Nexus, so release may resume

[tolusha]

chectl and che-operator are released.
Community operator PRs aren't created. I am waiting for approval from QE
It is not possible to test che-operator updates due to #16738

[tolusha]

che-operator update was successfully tested on minikube and OpenShift 4.3

[Katka92]

When testing 7.12.0 on a Hosted Che, we found those issues:

• Java language support not working in Apache Camel K Java language support not working in Apache Camel K worskpace #15910
• Rust highlighting not working Error highlighting broken in several default stack #15919

What we tested - all default devfiles in ephemeral mode (workspace startup, predefined commands running, basic LS support), workspace idling.

community operators PR merged
