Neville Li commented on BEAM-302:
---------------------------------

We prefer to keep it separate for now mainly for logistics reasons:

- we use SBT with lots of custom logic
- we release very often, once every 1-2 weeks
- we monkey patch Beam bugs, test in our production jobs, before upstream Beam 
release
- we use a lightweight collaboration model, mainly just Github issues & PRs
- there're only 3 Scio developers at Spotify supporting 150+ internal users and 
many external ones, all running on Dataflow

However I also want to point out that nothing should stop those interested from 
trying it out or contributing
- we decoupled Dataflow runner as much as possible
- Scio should run on other runners without modification, just a matter of 
changing dependencies and arguments
- there're still parts coupled with GCP and Dataflow runner but hopefully we 
can gradually decouple them as the file system and other related API improves
- it'd be great to see bug reports and PRs from the community
