    If this is a generic document for Airflow and its distributions. Should we include the airflowctl  here? I see, of course, this is still in draft slightly smiling face . Just making suggestions

      Yes. And Yes. And Feel free :)

      Yeah is a DRAFT proposal to keep a page with planned releases, not agreed upon that we use this but at least for providers make sense.

      Also in my view all other packages can go in, and if somebody has a better idea for a structure I am open. (First we thought about a Google calendar but then this must be owned by one person and Confluence does not have a better calendar widget unfortunately)

        It looks good. I was trying to understand what we are planning with this page :)

        I tried something similar in this one. I updated until 0.1.0 decision but would be happy to move here and follow similar approach within the same place. I will add airflowctl and update accordingly. Maybe we should go organically on this one. There are of course similar parameters such as supported airflow-core or airflow-core API version in the airflowctl case but it would be easier to see by the time which information we need to keep
