• We get proto. So can generate other lang clients
• Open api docs. We can also get validators using the open api spec. https://github.com/garethr/kubeval
• Conversions: go from v1alpha1 to v1beta1. Api server can do the conversions for us.
• We can delete all the hand written copy/pasted client etc. We just write the types.go and any conversion that can't be auto generated
