When you unjoin all namespaces from the mesh - curling bookstore.bookstore:8080 does not work

[draychev]

Per @jocortems - when you unjoin all namespaces from the mesh - curling bookstore.bookstore:8080 does not work.
cURL bookstore-v1.bookstore:8080 works as expected

@draychev can you add more details for the repo? Where are you curling from? How is osm configured? etc

This is a caveat of using the top-level bookstore service in the demo which was only to be used when SMI traffic split service exists. With the new demo guide, when a namespace is removed from the mesh, the user needs to ensure that the HTTP request is being sent to an actual service FQDN who has pods backing it, and not an SMI apex service that does not have pods backing it.

I believe the issue revolved around the synthetic service and other primitives that are now long gone.
This is no longer an issue.
