Generic XR (or Orphan Composition)

[nbragin4]

What problem are you facing?

Sometimes we have need to create some specific resources without creation of Composition, XRD, and XR for it.

How could Crossplane help solve your problem?

Create Generic XR CRD which should contain the same features as Composition, but also "forProvider" (to avoid using XRD) field with any structure to let user decide what variables he need. It something like XR, XRD and Composition in One. Generic XR have one instance and runs as any other XR, but contains XRD and Composition inside, allowing engineers to solve super-specific tasks without creating one more XRD and one more Composition for it.

@nbragin4 Can you provide an example of what you are looking for? You can create MRs directly without using an XRD/Composition, using regular gitops or a Helm chart or however else you like.
