   Oh cool, I hadn't seen that discussion. Thanks for sharing!
   
   It sounds like the larger backfill redesign is a much larger feature which 
will likely require its own AIP in order to gather requirements and feedback 
from the community, correct? I will think about some requirements and evaluate 
how much capacity I have to get involved with a larger change.
   
   In the short term, I think it wouldn't be too difficult to expose the 
existing CLI-based backfill functionality in the REST API, but I acknowledge 
that this comes with some downsides:
    - Since Backfills aren't really their own entity / model in Airflow it 
would be difficult to implement any read/update/delete operations on them. 
    - Anything we change now would likely need to be refactored when a larger 
redesign of backfills takes place. 
    
   What do you think, is it worth proceeding with a near-term fix or should any 
changes to the backfill functionality be grouped together as part of a larger 
AIP?
