Posting for discussion:

While creating a Nextclade dataset, had wondered if there’s a method to [fine-tune reasonable attribute cutoffs in the pathogen.json](https://github.com/nextstrain/nextclade_data/blob/master/docs/dataset-creation-guide.md#preparing-a-minimal-pathogenjson-config-file-and-accompanying-files) file based on the [nextclade.tsv QC columns](https://docs.nextstrain.org/projects/nextclade/en/latest/user/algorithm/07-quality-control.html). Non-urgent question, just thinking.
