Previously, when weighing the merging of wskdeploy into CLI, it seemed that the 
CLI was a good "base" for CRUD operations (commands) against the OW 
primitives... and that indeed wskdeploy was a great "plug-in" bringing in 
higher order concepts (some of which are not official OW primitives).  

In addition, and as a result of the added complexity, the wskdeploy codebase is 
quite large and fear that it would both increase the complexity of maintaining 
the CLI, as well as reduce experimentation (e.g., perhaps towards leveraging 
other deployment targets like knative and bringing in source-to-image pipelines 
like Jib/Tekton).  Still fall on the side of keeping the CLI simple and CRUD 
based around our existing primitives, but deserves continued discussion over 
time.
