// I think this is legacy cruft from the internal rest clients combined with using the same codec
// in places where implicit conversion occurs from some external version to an internal or different external version
// i.e. the type meta we saw on the wire may not match the type meta of the struct in all cases
// however, in our case, we know that we directly called the rest API at a particular version and that no conversion occurred
// thus we know that the type meta we saw on the wire directly matches the struct that we are using
// said in a different way, we know that our GVR to GVK (and vice versa) mapping is 1:1
// this means we can recover the type meta by asking the Kube client-go scheme for it
// the below code will only error if some generated Kube client-go code is broken
