Short update on status after receiving some feedback on Slack and Confluence 
comments:

• Updated description of PythonFunctionalOperator
• Added a few clarifying comments on how each component change plays along each 
other

Reached out to Bolke to see if I can get his thoughts on how Lineage and 
Functional DAG API overlap (not sure what’s the best format for that 
discussion, but will be updating this thread as I go along).

Unless there’s someone strongly against with the current proposal, I plan on 
submitting the proposal for vote by mid-next week and start planning 
implementation tasks after that. Haven’t been able to find a good guideline for 
this process, mainly looking at other completed AIP. Let me know if I should 
wait more.

Best,

Gerard Casas Saez
