Need preStop opntion for gwv6 Pods

In the current design, once the status in gwv6 Pod is transitioned into Terminating, SIGTERM signal is sent to gwv6 Pod. And if this process is not completed within 30s (=terminationGracePeriodSeconds), SIGKILL signal is sent to gwv6 Pod by compulsion. Based on my previous customer's verification on IBM Cloud Private or my internal verification on EKS, when gwv6 Pod is restarted, very few APIs (0.052% - 0.094%) are returned as errors.

To seek for any work-arounds, firstly, I tried to inject following snippets into gatewaycluster.gateway.apiconnect.ibm.com/gwv6, but it was not permitted. So, I tried to do that for StatefulSet (gwv6) and it was successful.

----------
lifecycle:
preStop:
exec:
command: ["sh", "-c", "sleep 20"]
----------

With the above lifecycle, when gwv6 Pod is restarted, all APIs are returned as 200. Unfortunately, however, when we apply FixPack, StatefulSet is overwritten, which means StatefulSet is backed to the default. Eventually, preStop setting is discarded and I see the same error situation.
