> @potiuk Yes, I understand what you mean, am involved in other open source projects as well. Just to clarify: By backporting this feature / commit myself to v2.10.x .. do you mean I build it and a custom image myself, or, that you want me to cherry pick the commit against main and apply it as a Merge Request / PR against e.g. v2-10-test branch, adding a now-missing unit test, similar to how you handled it with another contributor in feature 42934 in the past: https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/42934#issuecomment-2409468700 I think it really depends on @ephraimbuddy and @utkarsharma2 - if he will be willing to accept such PR. I think the best way is to do it, see what it involves, get it to a green status and then ask them if that's ok to be accepted. You never know - before you do it, if it's **really easy and straightforward** - or maybe there are some hidden problems that needs to be solved. Part of the reluctance to accept any change is the risk involved, and part of it that "accepting" the backport idea of the PR is more or less "committing to merging it" even if it will turn out that the problem is much more complex than we initially thought (happens more often than you thought). And the fact that we do not accept any more "new features" to v2 branches is not some "artifficial no new features" limitations is that we prefer to focus on 3.0 and do not want to spend any time on things that might distract us from it. This is the cost of "lost opportunity" for us. So if you will to spend all your time to try to cherry-pick and test it and show us a green PR with potentially tests added to show that it works, and when it will turn out that it "just works" - with minimal set of changes, there is a chance - just a chance that we will accept it as backport. But you should take the risk of doing the job before knowing that it will get accepted. It's on you - including the risk. Other than that - you can try it yourself in your own environment. And actually trying it on your own would be even better path because if you try on your own and it will "just work" that's even bigger proof for the RM that they can safely merge the PR - because the last thing we want to have now is more problems in v2. caused by trying to add stuff there. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
