Hi @majst01. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a gardener member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the kubernetes-sigs/prow repository.

If we are going to stick with this alias what about adding a script in a Make target (example format) that checks for/replaces interface{} so that there are no interface{} added in future PR's? On the other side is it worth the effort for just a little bit of bonus code consistency?

Can easily be done with golangci-lint, see Example
