Is there a specific reason to make this update now, like a transitive dependency causing a version conflict?

And did we have a specific reason for using the native-mt version?

This and okio (bumped here #721) are external dependencies stopping :workflow-core from being published as a kmp library. This is the primary reason.

I believe native-mt is deprecated in favor of the vanilla coroutines package due to the new memory model - via here:

1.6.0-native-mt has been released.

1.6.x will be the last series of native-mt releases and we are effectively decommissioning native-mt in the favour of the new memory model that is supported out-of-the-box in 1.6.0 coroutines release.

Coroutines 1.7.0 will be released without native-mt companion and we are gradually stopping the support of native-mt during the course of 1.6.x lifecycle. We still are ready to accept PRs or release versions with the new Kotlin if there is a need to, but new coroutine features won't get native-mt support.
