Example case: * https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/45904 - airflow * https://github.com/apache/iceberg/issues/12034 - iceberg

Interesting thing is that many of those users, if you look at their history - created. similar number of issues in iceberg and airflow about the same time. So you might have more such issues now than you think. J.
