Is mapkubeapis plugin recommended for production by helm for manipulating release manifest ?

[gandhisagar]

We have a Product where previous version had PSP deployed . User has upgraded the kubernetes from 1.23 to 1.27 and PSP is removed in 1.25+.

We want to recommend the workaround steps to end users to unblock. In helm documentation , its recommended to edit release manifest manually (https://helm.sh/docs/topics/kubernetes_apis/).

but helm also maintains the mapkubeapis plugin for the same purpose. Can we recommend this plug-in to remove in production ? Is this plugin officially recommended by helm or is it in experimental phase (referring based on last release is March 2023) ?

You can do either, edit manually or use mapkubeapis as the article describes. It would be recommended to verify either course of action on a staging environment before a production environment of course.
