Has anyone ever ran an Airbyte connector in Meltano?

Do native Airbyte connectors meet the singer spec? I was under the impression that they do not. I would probably use the Airbyte Connector as a general guide and rebuild it with the meltano sdk.

We’re working on https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/-/issues/2205 in the next iteration which may unlock something along these lines…

If you wanted to run an Airbyte source with an Airbyte destination then I think theoretically you could using meltano utility configurations directing with docker images and the 
invoke
  command. You wouldnt be able to combine Singer/Airbyte since the specs arent the same (like @dan_ladd said). Definitely not easily supported but for a power user I think its might be possible. I wonder if this could work?
