I'd like to find time to fix subdags as they do provide a useful abstraction - but I agree right now they aren't great (I avoid them because of this)
I have half thoughts of how to it should work, I just need to look at the code in depth to see if that makes sense. Now 1.10.3 is out I might have a bit more time to do this. -ash > On 12 Apr 2019, at 15:48, James Meickle <jmeic...@quantopian.com.INVALID> > wrote: > > I think we should deprecate SubDAGs given the complexity they add and the > limited usage and use cases.
