   >Thanks for the answer, but it is easy to debug dag on windows in version 
2.7.3. It works well until import "fnctl" in version 2.8.0.
   
   Yes. but as you case in question - even if it accidentally worked for SOME 
debugging, it's super easy and frigile to break it so you shoudl not rely on 
it.  This is precisely the point of  "not supported" - so that maintainers do 
not have loose time on handling such issue and  "actively preventing" such 
breakages. This slows us down immensely if we would have to take care and 
individually check every single change if maybe accidentally break someone's 
debug workflow on windows. 
   
   This is precisely why the **right** way of doing it is implementing 
https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/10388 which should include not only 
checking and fixing all the windows incompatibiities but also running all the 
CI tests that are necessary to support development workflows on windows so that 
this will **prevent** the issues from being merged, rather than loosing your 
and maintainer time on handling it post-factum.
   
   There are just a handful of people who would like to have Windows support 
for their development efforts now and It's up to those people (maybe you would 
like to lead that) to implement Windows support (including CI tests and running 
all things locallly that contributors would normally) you are more than welcome 
to do so.
   
   But until the CI is done and we label airflow supported (even for 
development) - please don't rely on it and expect things to break any time.
