Dear Airflow Community, I would like to start a discussion regarding AIP-85-1: DAG importer. To clarify, this is not a new proposal but a scoped-down, modular part of the existing AIP-85. Original AIP-85 was created in 2024, and since then, Airflow 3 has developed new integral functionalities (like already implemented AIP-66 and AIP-72). We decided to divide the parent AIP into two independent parts to better manage complexity. While AIP-85 covers the overarching architectural framework for parsing controls, this specific part (AIP-85-1) focuses strictly on implementing the DAG importer and its configuration. The goal is to allow alternative formats like YAML to be first-class citizens in Airflow by decoupling DAG discovery from parsing. This modular approach will allow us to implement the core importer mechanism faster and independently of broader architectural updates. NOTE: There is an ongoing discussion around AIP-108, which is proposing coordinator for DAG parsing and they are slightly overlapping. I think they need to be aligned. Please see the attached discussion document for your reference: link <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1K6-4cGoZItXGQHZjOydNbc7rGtOp_XKfFurMnFptKe0/edit?usp=sharing> I look forward to your feedback. Kind regards, Dilnaz Amanzholova
