with 26+ Snowflake connectors and 5+ Athena connectors, it's often difficult to know which is the appropriate connector for my use case.
the 'preferred' connector is a good start, but it would be ideal to
1) have more visibility as to what makes a preferred connector
2) have visibility on any under the covers behavior that may make a connector better suited for different use cases ex. JDBC vs Unload connector.
3) have the 'last code modified' date visible. If a connector hasn't been touched by the connector team in multiple years, it might encourage users to look at a more recently developed / updated connector.
