   Thanks for the reply.  On a similar note, it appears as though the 
ProduceToTopicOperator doesn't have a way to take any input from other tasks in 
the graph.  One can provide a function to the method, but if we have, say, an 
existing batch of tasks which produce a list of dicts then the following isn't 
possible:
   
   ```python
   with DAG(...) as dag:
       @task.python
       def my_sample_producer():
           return [{"key": "foo", "value":"..."}, {"key": "..."}, ...]
   
       prod = ProduceToTopicOperator(
           topic=OUTPUT_TOPIC,
           
producer_function=this_method_will_be_called_but_we_cant_read_from_other_tasks,
       )
   
       my_sample_producers() >> prod
   ```
   
   I feel like it still makes sense from an admittedly fuzzy aesthetics and 
composability perspective for these things to be able to accept and/or produce 
Kafka messages, but I can respect not wanting to have two ways to accomplish 
this.
