Did my usual round with the Integration Test Dag and Edge Executor and
found one litch in the version check in EdgeExecutor related to RC
versions. But this is no problem blocking the release but just something
as a problem for the release checks itself. Reported as issue
https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/61313
Also found a small UI glitch in missing translations keys, reported as
issue https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/61314. But also this is
very minor, in my view not blocking to release.

Validated PRs that I authored/backported from main.
In addition, I ran the experimental automated checks using the new command
and got the same successful result:
breeze release-management verify-rc-by-pmc --distribution airflow --version
3.1.7rc1 --task-sdk-version 1.1.7rc1 --path-to-airflow-svn
~/asf-dist/dev/airflow
Other PMCs are welcome to try out the automation and report their
experience.
If you do so, please make sure to do the following before running the
command:
0. Run the manual steps first, as the automation is still experimental.
1. Update the --path-to-airflow-svn according to the path on your machine
2. Fetch git tags manually, otherwise the reproducible build step fails
(might be added to the automation later).

Please vote accordingly:
[ ] +1 approve
[ ] +0 no opinion
[ ] -1 disapprove with the reason
Only votes from PMC members are binding, but all members of the community
are encouraged to test the release and vote with "(non-binding)".
The test procedure for PMC members is described in:
https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/dev/README_RELEASE_AIRFLOW.md\#verify-the-release-candidate-by-pmc-members
The test procedure for contributors and members of the community who would
like to test this RC is described in:
https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/dev/README_RELEASE_AIRFLOW.md\#verify-the-release-candidate-by-contributors
Please note that the version number excludes the 'rcX' string, so it's now
simply 3.1.7 for Airflow package and 1.1.7 for Task SDK. This will allow us
to rename the artifact without modifying
the artifact checksums when we actually release.
