I was looking for a "Why" Helm is ending its registry and didn't find it,
though I did find the 2x vs 3x thing so I thought it was about version
migration more than anything.  I'm wondering "Why" because this very
project, Solr, will soon be grappling with how to create a repository of
3rd party plugins.  Successful projects like Docker do this so I wonder why
Helm seems to be backing out.  Perhaps we will have one main repository of
3rd party plugins we've vetted in some way (have high confidence in) and
then for others we simply list URLs to "known" repos of packages of plugins
that we have no opinion of.  This is uncharted territory for us.  Unlike
Helm & Docker, I don't expect a vast number of entries.
