potiuk opened a new pull request, #38077:
URL: https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/38077

   GitHub actions has strange and complex way of getting conditional jobs. When 
you want a job to depend on another job to be running when it is either 
successful of fully skipped, you have to write a rather peculiar condition:
   
   ```
   always() && !failure() && !cancelled()
   ```
   
   However, it turned out that this condition does not propoagate to to task 
that depends on the downstream tasks - for example if "wait-for-ci-images" had 
this condition and preceding "build-ci-images" was skipped, the 
"wait-for-ci-images" was happily running, but any of the other jobs that 
depended on "wait-for-ci-images" has been skipped :(. Simply - skipping tasks 
immediately propagates to all the downstream tasks and we cannot easily 
mitigate it.
   
   This means that we have to come back to a solution that was implemented 
before #38057 - where instead of skipping the whole job, we skip all the steps 
in this kob. That makes it a little more clunky but makes the skipping status 
not propagate to downstream jobs.
