Hi, I noticed that [the documentation for `fab.auth_backends`](https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow-providers-fab/stable/auth-manager/api-authentication.html) is now obsolete. We are using [Kerberos provider on Airflow 2](https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/operations/deployment-charts/+/e9963da350590ef226758360d80a65d88847777e/charts/airflow/templates/_helpers.tpl#290), and we are upgrading to the Airflow 3.3. I noticed that the Kerberos authentication has stopped working after the upgrade. First, I found that f4fd68fb151299e31f8f58b6b717936263b4f945 removes [the callsite to it](https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/00f15eed02d5a2eb3ca2c166c7f53a6f83176006/airflow/api_connexion/security.py#L46). Second, I spent quality time tracking what uses `fab.auth_backends` option, and only found a single callsite at `providers/fab/src/airflow/providers/fab/www/extensions/init_security.py`, with no further use of `app.api_auth`. Should this be marked as regression, or is it just incomplete deprecation, and the pluggable auth backends in fab should be also deprecated? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
