In controller-runtime v0.10, manager.Start(ctx) would propagate that context to all reconcilers. e.g., if you attached a trace context or logger to the context, all reconcilers would be receive that in their context.

https://pkg.go.dev/sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime@v0.11.0/pkg/reconcile#Reconciler

In controller-runtime v0.11, the controller manager creates its own "empty" background context

And this is the context passed to the Reconcile(ctx, req) method

Was this an intentional change? are there ways we can add context values in a way that will appear in all reconcilers?
