Correct. The difference is that by only upgrading apache-airflow alone you
will break it. And I see why this might be seen as "problematic".

But I have another idea. Why - rather than keeping the deprecations in the
code we load such deprecated  we add dynamic attributes to __init__ of
airflow.contrib, airflow.operators, airflow.hooks. (to resolve to provider
operators).

Such dynamic attributes will be invisible to autocompletion, will not be
documented with APIs nor visible in the source code (Except deep inspection
of __init__ in those packages).

This has no compatibility breaking potential whatsoever
