Following the discussion in https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/12744
I would like to ask for a lazy consensus to get 4 providers installed always when you install airflow: While they are separated out as providers (and can be downgraded or upgraded independently, we will make them "required" dependencies,so anyone who uses airflow using PIP will have those providers installed by default: * http * ftp * sqlite * imap This will slightly increase the size of Airflow installation, because none of them requires any additional dependencies, so no risk for unnecessary conflict dependencies either, Since those are very popular providers, we are pretty sure it is good to have them installed by everyone and it will make it easier to migrate for Airflow 1.10 users. Unless someone objects until Monday 7th of December, 3:30 pm, we will include those extras as defaults in the upcoming RC candidate of Apache Airflow 2.0.
