I'm fine with smithlab-falco to keep the name space clean from our side.

For the moment I'm hesitating to upload the (bio-)falco package anyway
since it does not pass the FastQC tests anyway.  I think having an
alternative that is fast but not able to reproduce our simple test suite
does not make sense.

Kind regards
