        community can discuss and debate whether this feature is actually the *best* way to address
        the real use case, or whether or not a different abstraction might be more appropriate.


        It's okay if you can't provide complete context on a use case. We understand if you are not
        able to discuss the full details of what you're working on.

    ic["Istio kube.Client"]
    ikc["Istio kclient.Client"]
    ikrt["Istio krt.Collection"]
    ikrt--"Builds on"-->ikc--"Builds on"-->ic--"Builds on"-->kcg
```

**`kube.Client`** is a fairly light wrapper around Kubernetes clients, but offers quite a few benefits.
Istio consumes _many_ different types of clients (at the time of writing, 7), as well as informers for each of these.
