   Sure - don't get me wrong. I do see the incrememental improvement of using 
json, and I am not at all against it, I just think that it does not solve 
"real" (and different) problem of some organisations which might want to keep 
secrets in their own structure rather than following Airflow ways. It was not 
my intention to block it or contest it - it was more to raise attention to the 
fact that it might not be solving a more 'painful" issue for our users. Which 
is perfectly fine - it does not have to. It solves other issues and I agree it 
is an improvement over the current URI form.
   
   However I do think there is not a lot we should do now about the bigger 
(IMHO)  issue (unless someone wants to take on the task on trying to generalize 
the approach that is implemented in AWS secret backend).  And It's good we had 
this discussion because I had a chance to write down my thoughts about it and 
realise that what we really need to do is to add a little chapter to simply 
describe the status-quo and guide the users who have this kind of problem to 
roll their own backends (which I proposed in #19859)
   
   For now this is I think perfectly fine to keep it this way (and I'd love to 
hear other's comments on the "json format" as well).
