[galaxy-user] SRA files on Galaxy

Greetings Galaxy team,

Are there any plans for Galaxy to be able to deal with SRA files? NCBI no longer produces fastq dumps of data, everything is now maintained in SRA format. This means that in order to use the data on Galaxy, one must download the SRA, convert it to fastq and then upload this new, much larger file to Galaxy. The conversion tool seems fairly simple, would it be possible to incorporate into Galaxy such that the SRA files could be sent over directly from NCBI?

Thanks for all the great work!
