Hi Abid, Just to clarify does your suggestion mean that the Iceberg community would like to remove the iceberg-flink connector from the Iceberg codebase and maintain it under Flink instead? A new separate repo under the Flink project umbrella given the current existing effort to extract connectors to their individual repos (externalize) makes sense to me.
