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 J.

You still can do it, but it is not "out-of-the-box". This is the issue though. apache-airflow does not depend on apache-airflow-providers-google >= 8.0, so you can still be on the same version of the provider on 2.3 and 2.4, but by _only_ upgrading apache-airflow package your DAG now breaks.
