   > So I'm having a hard time understanding why support for PAT was deprecated 
and dropped
   
   See https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/16916
   Tableau users were impacted badly due to this.
   
   The situation/deprecation has been known for +-3 years? Airflow has a[ mixed 
governance](https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/PROVIDERS.rst#mixed-governance-model-for-3rd-party-related-community-providers)
 model for providers which means that at any point Tableau are welcome to join 
the effort and participate in maintaining the code and the users questions. It 
works really well with AWS, Google, Teradata and other companies.
   
   > shall it be brought back, with a section in the docs to explain how to 
work around PAT's limitation? 
   
   Given the situation I am not sure this is the right direction. Operators 
should just work. They should not have complex workarounds. Any integration 
that doesn't allow this means that something is missing in the integration SDK. 
As a Rule - Airflow does not create complex workarounds to mitigate missing 
functionality in upstream SDKs.
   Should Tableau take active role in the project and it will be their 
professional recommendation we can have a discussion then.
   
   I assume it may not be the answer you were hoping for (and I am open to be 
convinced otherwise) but I am having difficulties proceeding without Tableau 
offering their official guidance and involvement.
