# Towards Helmfile 1.0 # Towards Helmfile 1.0
I'd like to make two backward-incompatible changes to Helmfile and mark it as 1.0, so that we can better communicate with the current and future Helmfile users about our stance on maintaining Helmfile. I'd like to make 3 breaking changes to Helmfile and mark it as 1.0, so that we can better communicate with the current and future Helmfile users about our stance on maintaining Helmfile.
Note that every breaking change should have an easy alternative way to achieve the same goal achieved using the removed functionality.

- As the primary maintainer of the project, I'm tired of explaining why Helmfile renders go template expressions embedded in a yaml comment. [The latest example of it](https://github.com/helmfile/helmfile/issues/127). - As the primary maintainer of the project, I'm tired of explaining why Helmfile renders go template expressions embedded in a yaml comment.

- When we first introduced helmfile the ability to render helmfile.yaml as a go template, I did propose it to require `.gotmpl` file extension to enable the feature. But none of active helmfile users and contributors at that time agreed with it (although I didn't have a very strong opinion on the matter either), so we enabled it without the extension. I consider it as a tech debt now. - When we first introduced helmfile the ability to render helmfile.yaml as a go template, I did propose it to require `.gotmpl` file extension to enable the feature.

3. Remove the `--args` flag from the `helmfile` command
- It has been provided as-is, and never intended to work reliably because it's fundamentally flawed because we have no way to specify which args to be passed to which `helm` commands being called by which `helmfile` command.
- However, I periodically see a new user finds it's not working and reporting it as a bug([the most recent example](https://github.com/roboll/helmfile/issues/2034#issuecomment-1147059088)). It's not a fault of the user, but out fault that left this broken feature.
- Every use-case previsouly covered (by any chance) with `--args` should be covered in new `helmfile.yaml` fields or flags.

We won't add any backward-incompatible changes while in 1.x, as long as it's inevitable to fix unseen important bug(s). We won't add any backward-incompatible changes while in 1.x, as long as it's inevitable to fix unseen important bug(s).
