Duck types represent a partial view of a resource. It is dangerous to perform operation that assume the client has the full resource when it only has a portion of the resource. Calling update in this case can result in data loss as fields that are not part of the duck type will be dropped on the server. Likewise, it is difficult to create a resource with a partial object as required/essential fields may not be available.
This change allows users to explicitly override these concerns and use the ChildReconciler and ChildSetReconciler to manage a child via a duck type. This should only be done when the user is certain the duck typed object contains all fields represented on the resource.
