My wish for 4.0 is to decouple the pieces of helm. It has always done too many things. Package management, templating, deployment life cycle management.
Helm seems good enough as a package manager. But it forces me to use one particular text templating system. Why not allow a package to generate manifests with any system that it likes? This can be done reproducibly with a docker image in the k8s cluster (generate the manifests and send the manifests back to helm to apply them).
Deployment lifecycle management is complicated, and I can see why it is being coupled to templating values, but I don't think that must be the case.
It is great to see the 3.0 release just getting rid of Tiller, that's a useful step in this direction.
