Thanks, Kaxil, Good summary!

Just a comment on progress here from my side. I have just updated the
status of three issues that are relevant for our Monday discussion.

* Enable MySQL 8 CI jobs #11164
https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/11164

This one is a prerequisite IMHO to get HA Scheduler merged because we have
a dependency on MySQL 8 for it but we do not test MySQL 8 on CI at all
currently. I think this one should be implemented as part of the HA
Scheduler PR merge preparation. I'd love to take that on, but I have no
time to try it out even, but likely it is only adding the version and it
should work, however, there is quite a risk that we will need some fixes at
least in the tests and we for sure need to adapt Dockerfile to use MySQL 8
client.

It is also (not very strongly) depends on those three that are
closely related. It would be best if those three are all completed because
this will give us a chance to test the separation of packages and in case
we are going Semver (which we all agree is a better approach), there is
quite some work to implement SEMVER versioning for separate packages. This
separation is also needed to massively speed up our CI builds and it will
help us to tackle increased CI pressure when we add MySQL 8.

* [OPTIMISATION] Selective builds for different types of tests #10507
https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/10507
* Fully separate provider packages from the Airflow core (AIP-8)
https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/11163
* Release a 2nd wave of Backport packages #10014
https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/10014

Unfortunately, due to other obligations, I likely won't be able to complete
any of those this week and I will have very little time this week in
general, so any help on those is appreciated - if anyone would like to take
any of those - I linked all the WIP PRs for those - so if there is anyone
who would like to take it over - feel free.

I will do my best to be able to take part in the meeting on Monday.

J.
