More details to specifications/pipelines/requirements/workflow_specificity page

I think the workflow specificity page is a tad barebone. @ewels comment here fleshes out more of the rationale behind the nf-core approach:

nf-core/proposals#134 (comment)

This is quite unique to nf-core. All pipelines are community owned and it forces people to collaborate across domains and continents on the same codebases, leading to better maintained pipelines and clearer choices for end users. For this reason, we generally try to ensure that pipelines are as generic as they can be. If a pipeline can be used and maintained by multiple groups of people, that's generally a good thing - more usage for the code and more people willing to help with development.

I agree this would have been good to know beforehand when discussing this proposal. Including this point online would avoid a need to infer or explain it in future.
