Is the upgrade path required for helm installation?
Problem to solve
Clarification is needed in the documentation on upgrades of actual versions of GitLab as opposed to Chart version upgrades.
Further details
I am upgrading GitLab from 16.1.1 to 16.7.2. With omnibus installations, it was clear that an upgrade path needed to be followed and you couldn't just skip certain versions. With the helm installation, the docs just have notes regarding upgrades of certain helm chart versions, and doesn't mention anything about whether or not upgrades of the GitLab version itself need to follow the upgrade path. I am following the upgrade path to be safe, but it would be nice to know if this is necessary or not.
Proposal
Update docs to mention that an upgrade path should be followed if that is the case, or have a note that it doesn't matter what GitLab versions you are transitioning to if it is not the case.
Who can address the issue
Anyone who knows whether or not an upgrade path is required for helm installations.
