Bases was deprecated in version/v2.1. but still works in v2 series and moving ../../bases to resources causes issues.
https://kubernetes-sigs.github.io/kustomize/blog/2019/06/18/v2.1.0/#resources-expanded-bases-deprecated

I think some of the problem here is that the version of kustomize included in kubectl (2020-11-20 v1.19.0) is old and so people are still running into this (I know i did) and the docs on the kubernetes site still refer to using bases because that is the version included in kubectl https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/manage-kubernetes-objects/kustomization/#bases-and-overlays

Looks like it may get updated in kubectl 1.20 https://kubectl.docs.kubernetes.io/faq/kustomize/#kubectl-doesnt-have-the-latest-kustomize-when-will-it-be-updated

The latest version of the docs available at https://kubectl.docs.kubernetes.io/guides/config_management/components/ make more sense as these are for v3 but this requires that you use a standalone version of kustomize

@seans3 @pwittrock @monopole any thoughts on this one? Do we remove that page from the kubectl book?

Bases are still even used on the main readme -

Very unclear what the suggested method is given this comment

I don't think this issue is stale or rotten, it's just a lack of updates.
