This change removes supports for objects that have type or object meta defined as pointer. This is because the `FieldManagedObjectTracker` needed for support of SSA in the fakeclient can not support it, as it has a lot of places where it unconditionally accesses these fields using reflect, which will cause panics.

Do we have any idea of the use case for this? When would someone be deliberately using pointers here? Any scope of who we might break and how this might break them? |
I think its pretty uncommon and I think the main/only reason this might happen is when using gogo protobuf generation. It also didn't work at all until ~2 years ago: #2633 |
