My only concern is losing helmfile --args specifically for performing a dry-run. I understand the reason behind deprecating the --args option, but can we find a compromise in adding a --dry-run ability? That is an incalculable tool for our purposes.

@mumoshu Howdy! Thank you for bringing this up. Since remote values will take a touch, maybe this one will be also a small but a handy addition #1817 (for values might also make sense).

@notjames Hey! Please add your comment to #118 🙏 Everyone replying here with various topics on various related issues just makes my work harder!

[mumoshu]

@dennybaa Hey! Are you talking about #469? Then, I'd appreciate it very much if you could reply there. The reason is the same as above

[mumoshu]

Well, I reread your comment and it turned about you're suggesting to add #1817 to here as it's similar to #469, right? :) Gotcha!

Please let me have some time and decide the priority myself because I believe I'm the only one trying to balance the importance of each feature request/user-support/maintenance/existence of contributors/etc here. I believe they all are essential for maintaining Helmfile.

When you want to bump up one feature request to be prioritized over another feature request, put your comment or 👍 on corresponding issues, not here!
