Hi Akos, Can you please elaborate about the reasoning? You mentioned the pain of setting up a custom provider. How will this be resolved by having it as an official Airflow provider? I took a look at the stats of the 3rd party package https://pypistats.org/packages/airflow-tm1 it has less than 90 downloads a month - It doesn't seem to be a very popular integration.
