Group 
    az acr helm : Manage helm charts for Azure Container Registries.
        This command group has been deprecated and will be removed in future release. Use 'helm

Seemed like Microsoft was a little too hasty on deprecating this... I know it was a preview feature and all but the alternative to use Helm3's OCI experimental features like "helm chart save" and "helm chart push" are still far from mature... simple things like setting the chart's version and app-version require ugly workarounds... this unexpectedly took my development team out of commission for the whole day while I scrambled to fix our CI/CD pipelines.

Thanks for the feedback! We are routing this to the appropriate team for follow-up. cc @toddysm, @yugangw-MSFT.

This seems like a very backwards step, we can currently authenticate using az cli using a service connection on pipelines and looking at the documentation it seems we will now have to resolve back to using an service principal and storing those credentials separately in devops? Given that it seems the helm 3 functionality to do this is only an experimental feature as well i would kindly ask that microsoft reconsider decommissioning these commands.

Seriously? We will have to export chart to be able to install it? What happened to simple helm repo add test https://testrepo.azurecr.io/helm/v1/repo and then installing anything that we had in that repository without the need to do any helm chart pull and helm chart export?
