the root key is needed for downstream Kafka SSL configuration

Why would any server need the CA private key? This feels like a CVE waiting to happen It shouldn't even need the CA public key unless it is attempting to connect to itself (for debugging purposes) or to another server signed by that CA

@bdunne It's not required by us but rather Strimzi does a check to see if the following secrets are available https://strimzi.io/docs/operators/in-development/deploying.html#installing-your-own-ca-certificates-str. If <cluster_name>-cluster-ca secret which contains the ca key is not available then Kafka is not deployed. Usually Strimzi generates the ca key/certs and creates the secrets for you but since we are bringing our own certs in the form of internalCertificateSecret then it needs to be specified here
