I'm personally inclined to leave it, because that coupling still exists as
of this PR. I'm inclined to leave it as follow-on for anyone inclined to
decouple our ingest from Kafka. A fair number of our examples and configs are
heavily tied to Kafka right now (e.g. the parser chaining / aggregation), so
I'd be more inclined to have a more thorough decoupling.
Having said that, I'd be more open to changing specific instances if
there's something we feel needs to be changed now.
