Callouts

• FYI: Removing our old helm charts endpoint (https://releases.wikimedia.org/charts) and moving to a new one, powered by chartmuseum. https://helm-charts.wikimedia.org/. if you are using helm locally with the old repo, you will have to switch to the new one. On the plus side, this is integrated with our CI now and no longer requires manually creating helm chart artifacts. Docs at https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/ChartMuseum
