Agree with Andrey's suggestions - added a few of mine directly to the docs
as comments/suggestions. Summary of my comments:

* mentioning 2.5 providers compatibility and reasoning why people staying
below 2.5
* I thing suggesting list of services/tools Airflow might interact with to
choose, will introduce bias and will make it difficult to get "real"
impression on what is used. I suggest leaving it "freeform".
* asking questions about importance/ways how they are managing security of
their deployment (and whether they follow advisories)
* I think we should also ask question about "other" orchestration tools and
what made people choose airflow/consider others
