How close are we from runtime agnostic?

It is clear that Opendal aims to be runtime agnostic; the only question is to what extent?

Currently, OpenDAL makes reqwest optional by introducing the HttpFetch trait and makes tokio optional by introducing the Execute trait. Technically, OpenDAL can run on any asynchronous runtime.

What's next? What steps should our community take now?

To clarify, not all services are runtime agnostic. HTTP-based services such as s3, gcs, and azblob rely solely on HttpFetch, making them relatively straightforward to support. However, some services like mysql may have specific runtime requirements. Perhaps some research is needed to clarify this.
