As to whether this or other similar projects will become part of Kubernetes core, my guess is probably there will be resistance to it as it will mean choosing one particular way of how Kubernetes can be extended over others. And this will be against the overall philosophy of Kubernetes that components in it are optional and pluggable[1]. On the other hand, some standardization will mostly likely evolve around the end-user experience of consuming multiple Operators in a single Kubernetes Cluster.
