There have been some conversations about potentially using the CosmoDC2 input catalogs to also seed WFIRST image simulations, in order to enable a tests of doing the joint analysis of images from both surveys. Along the way, it has become evident that the current selected population is overall around 1/4 to 1/2 magnitude too bright in J and H bands.

In the future, we should include NIR and maybe other colors in the selection criteria (cf. LSSTDESC/cosmodc2#36) to make sure we aren't producing a subtly unrealistic galaxy population. This should be coupled with corresponding tests in descqa that things like N(m) and colors are reasonable for non-optical bandpasses.
