Thanks for sharing your views on these issues related to nextflow and 
work to do around its core packaging. Especially, Noah, I think your 
experience on such SDKs is valuable for us.

I tend to share your above opinion: the Java team should be the best 
place to address such packaging work.
Maybe we could start with the remaining modules of nextflow, which do 
not require the big SDKs, if getting nextflow without them is still an 
appreciated outcome!

Best regards,
