@kaxil it's an option of course – as is subclassing and other ways to code around the problem. But I think there's a usability gain here that's worth considering because it's a pretty common problem and it can be known at the time of the DAG run whether or not to mark a task as skipped. You don't have that logic with a branching operator sitting in front of your task. It's also sort of wasteful I think to let an executor handle what the scheduler can do just as well. And what do you call your branching operator ... "check-if-saturday-task123". It doesn't seem particularly elegant to me. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
