BasPH opened a new pull request, #27541: URL: https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/27541
I suggest removing the default owner config (introduced 7 years ago in https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/1318), and defaulting `owner` to `None`. In my experience, the default "airflow" owner never reflects a meaningful entity and thus leads to confusion. Defaulting to None means users have to explicitly set an owner, which aligns better with Python's principle "Explicit is better than implicit". Currently, you cannot set `owner=None` ([link](https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/7297892558e94c8cc869b175e904ca96e0752afe/airflow/models/dag.py#L1234)). A workaround is setting an empty string. This PR also fixes the UI to display nothing when the owner is None: **After**  **Before (with `owner=""`)**  There's likely somebody out there that uses default_owner, so this should be treated as a breaking change. --- **^ Add meaningful description above** Read the **[Pull Request Guidelines](https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.rst#pull-request-guidelines)** for more information.
