   > Adding OBF password support significantly improves Flink's security by 
eliminating plaintext password exposure in config files.
   
   I don't see any increase because the stolen obfuscated passwords can be 
de-obfuscated on any machine which has java compiler. There are solutions which 
can be added to decrease the attack surface but that:
   * is encryption and not reversible obfuscation
   * has KMS system involved
   * has pluggable implementations
