Currently our operators will not act on removed information from the CR in some/most/all cases.
One example:
HBase operator has three roles (master, regionServer, restServer). If I create a HBase server CR with a restServer component and then remove it later (entirely, not setting replicas to 0) our operator will not clean up the STS that belongs to this role.

This is done when all stale STSs (and other resources not needed anymore) are cleaned up when they are not needed anymore.
