Back in January, this PR: https://github.com/apache/incubator-airflow/pull/1862
was approved for inclusion in the 1.8 alpha, but it never made it in, and it's not clear why or what its future is. In the meantime, sql_alchemy_conn_cmd has been documented as working on the website, but does not actually function during the airflow provisioning process. This has apparently been going on for upwards of a year. I found this out today when I attempted to deploy a new auto-ETL solution to staging and discovered that my work's largely been wasted because a lot of it hangs on that config value. Is there any workaround for this issue, what can I do?
