- aries-sdk-go should merge into aries-framework-go
- aries-sdk-javascript should move into aries-framework-javascript
- other SDKs renamed as Frameworks?
- Can have a separate SDK artifact in the Framework repository, if desired.
- Merge the SDK and the Framework repositories so developers don't have to choose between them.
