In our dev/test environments we don't expect a Kafka operator, rather we use a standalone Kafka helm chart which currently points to the old helm/incubator kafka chart.
We can either:
A) Include the Kafka operator in the Helm chart and use it for dev. This is not a good idea, as we usually want one operator per cluster and multiple apps per cluster.
B) Switch to the Bitnami Kafka chart for dev/test environments.
C) Add a Kafka operator to the bootstrap scripts for dev/test clusters and change the dev/test environments to use CRDs.
