mik-laj commented on issue #7070: [AIRFLOW-6480] Hide kerberos command if 
kerberos is disabled
URL: https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/7070#issuecomment-571162170
 
 
   The main benefit is to improve the user experience. Many companies do not 
use Kerberos, but this option appears on the user screen. This can confuse new 
users because they don't know what Kerberos is and whether they should use it. 
However, if the company decides to use Kerberos, then the option is still 
available, and people should be aware of it.  We have win-win situations 
because new users can use Airflow more easily, and current users can still use 
this feature. In my opinion, we should not think of Airflow CLI as a utils 
application that performs one function, e.g. CURL. But as a complex application 
that is used in everyday work. Some users install Airflow locally and use CLI 
in their daily work. In the next step, they upload files to the production 
server. 
   
   In my opinion, we should split CLI into two parts:
   * one intended for normal users
   * one for administrators
   
   The administrator would be able to run Kerberos. The user would not have 
this command. Unfortunately, it will be very difficult to do now, but...in the 
future, after we create the API, we can go back to this topic. Currently, this 
is the best way to improve the experience for a normal user
