When a lens-metrics upgrade is offered, it’s impossible to uninstall it without upgrading first.

Also, it would be necessary to add a file (not overwritten during an update) to specify the images used, as the cluster may not necessarily have access to “[registry.k8s.io](http://registry.k8s.io)”, “[docker.io](http://docker.io)”, or “[quay.io](http://quay.io)”.

Additionally, the ability to specify tolerations and nodeAffinity is needed, as our modifications are also erased with each upgrade.
