> The way we set-up the feature io (and subsequently, the way the launcher
> currently uses it) there is a build-in assumption that artifacts are
> available as local files. While that makes some sense there are scenarios
> where it would be more efficient to not require them to be Files unless it is
> really needed. We should make it possible for a provider to hand out URLs
> instead of Files and prefer to use those URLs where possible as a File can be
> easily accessed via a URL but the reverse is not true without locally
> buffering the URL content as a File.
