Desired behaviour

Button needs to be disabled for Nextflow, doesn't quite make sense since we don't index their binary files.

1. review whether Nextflow files have binary files, is this discouraged or not?

2. is there a way to tell which Nextflow binary files are missing or not?

• Slides ( https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1g39HmKpJgNc2vCvAAdTbbAQX40XtF1N2G2B4Ma71fBU/edit#slide=id.p ) from a story time presentation from May 2021. It’s mostly still applicable, although there has been discussion on supporting binaries, next item.
  • TRS issue ( TRS should be able to serve binary files ga4gh/tool-registry-service-schemas#235 ) on supporting binary files; from a client perspective we might be OK just surfacing binaries via a zip file.
