That's a bit of a different topic :) - I was only asking about the minimum provider versions.
And I think no-one wants to add new extras - but we do have a bunch of them already. What we have now is that (see pyproject-toml files in both) : * `apache-airflow-core` has a few of those historically to add "features" to the core , but some (say kerberos) - does not have providers. airflow-core currently has NO provider extras - they are only defined in the meta-package * `apache-airflow` meta- on the other hand - has "pass-through" core extras (same as "airflow-core") for back compatibility + it has provider extras Possibly we should also remove some of the "core" extras (for example I think async, cgroups and a few others might not make sense there. But I think this is another discussion . I will start it separately J.
