+# There are multiple reasons why installing the external-health-monitor-controller
+# cannot use the "normal" code:
+# - the RBAC file is not where https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/csi-release-tools/blob/7fe51491d8f56d0d459bf9abb9692bc9f96d2b75/prow.sh#L1243-L1258
+#   expects it
+# - the variable for overriding the RBAC source in https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/csi-driver-host-path/blob/9be5dd74a7fc2436c4334820156056b74821998e/deploy/util/deploy-hostpath.sh#L157-L158
+#   does not match the command name (csi-external-health-monitor-controller -> CSI_EXTERNAL_HEALTH_MONITOR_CONTROLLER_RBAC !=
+#   CSI_EXTERNALHEALTH_MONITOR_RBAC_YAML)
+#
+# The following hack works around that mismatch. It was added because it could be rolled
+# out without updating csi-release-tools and csi-driver-host-path.
