[loki-distributed] Loki native distributed support vs loki-distributed

[Skoucail]

In the release notes of loki 3.0.0 the following Feature/enhancement is listed.

Helm charts: A major upgrade to the Loki helm chart introduces support for Distributed mode (microservices), includes memcached by default, and includes several updates to configurations to improve Loki operations.
Source: https://github.com/grafana/loki/releases/tag/v3.0.0

Does this make the loki-distributed chart from this repo obsolete?
Or does the loki-distributed offer more then "loki 3.0.0 Distributed mode"?

I was wondering the same. So I compared our current setup (set up from the loki-distributed chart) to the loki 6.x chart and I could not find any possible limitations or anything missing in the latest loki chart. So I'm about to migrate now.
The loki chart even supports you in the migration from the loki-distributed chart which could be very helpful. Another thing I really like is that it's that easy to switch between the simple scalable deployment and the microservices deployment and vice versa.

Anyway, any "official" statement would be appreciated as I might miss something. :)

My feeling is that they will deprecate the distributed helm chart and make you move over to the loki one which now supports distributed mode.
