+1 binding.

- Checked SVN
- Checked in Docker
- Checked reproducible package builds
- Checked licenses
- Checked signatures

Installed the RC and ran some of my test dags.
It looks like there is an issue with pyjwt that we fixed via:
https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/61331
as Jarek mentioned, so I'd let you take the call on it since it's for
cases when constraints aren't used.

Thanks & Regards,
Amogh Desai
