Unfortunately that is one feature that we had to take out, but you should check out the TaskFlow API, it's a very worthwhile trade-off!
Edit:
Sorry I misspoke here
The only thing that is no longer allowed is using a bitshift operator between a DAG and a task.
task_1 >> task_2
is totally fine my_dag >> task_1
Is no longer allowed. Apologies for the miscommunication.
