The mailing list conversation only included an indirect reference to
including connectors in this `opt` directory. I was just trying to verify that
we did in fact wish to include these.
I'm not seeing Flink load jar files from a subdirectory of `lib`. For
example, if I copy flink-gelly into `lib/gelly` then I am unable to run the
Gelly examples. It should be possible to copy a subdirectory of `opt` into
`lib`.
