-The entries with ``*`` in the ``Providers`` column indicate that one or more provider will be installed

+The entries with ``*`` in the ``Providers`` column indicate that one or more provider packages will be
+installed automatically when those extras are used.
 For ``provider`` extras - they usually install single ``provider`` package, but for extras that are groups
 of other extras (for example ``all`` or ``devel_all`` or ``all_dbs``) there might be more than one provider
 installed together with the extra.
 
 The entries with ``*`` in the ``Preinstalled`` column indicate that those extras (with providers) are always
-pre-installed when Airflow is installed. In this case dependencies are reverted - the ``apache-airflow``
-package depends on the corresponding providers packages. This is in order to avoid circular dependency that
-can be reported by some tools (even if it is harmless).
+pre-installed when Airflow is installed.

Review comment:
       No neeed. Only the 4 `provider` packages are pre-installed. All others have to be explicitly added
