[SameerMesiah97]

apache-airflow-providers-cncf-kubernetes==10.18.1rc2
PR #68507: This is a non-functional change. Unit tests should be sufficient.

[onlyarnav]

keycloak: 0.8.1rc1
PR #68951: The issue is still being worked on, handling some missed error responses. New PR #69028 by @stephen-bracken should be the final fix for it.

[bugraoz93]

Thanks Shahar! Revert looks good!

Thanks for informing!
As the main purpose of the keycloak release is to revert the change to airflowctl, I don't see it as a blocker.

I checked the Add Celery worker multiprocessing start method config for Python 3.14 #69015 by installing the celery RC and it LGTM, I also clicked the corresponding checkbox myself. Thanks Shahar!
