This looks good content wise @bobh66, thank you! I'll add an approval when:

  • the code PRs are merged, so we know they are shipping
  • we remove the docs updates for previous versions - only master is needed IMO

| `LateInitialize` | Crossplane initializes some external resource settings not defined in the `spec.forProvider` of the managed resource. See [the late initialization]({{<ref "./managed-resources#late-initialization" >}}) section for more details. |
| `Observe` | Crossplane only observes the resource and doesn't make any changes. Used for [observe only resources]({{<ref "../guides/import-existing-resources#import-resources-automatically">}}). |
| `Update` | Crossplane changes the external resource when changing the managed resource. |
|`Orphan` | Shorthand for the combination `Observe`, `Create`, `Update`, `LateInitialize`. Supports migration from the deprecated `deletionPolicy` attribute. |

i think it's reasonable to only update master. i don't think we'd backport these new policies to previous releases, so only having it in the latest docs makes sense.
