I have to agree that the DMLC subrepos do make the development much more
difficult sometimes.

For me the situation with DMLC is problematic.
I often find myself having to fix things in the DMLC subrepos.
* These changes are impossible to test with the MXNet CI system without
doing shenanigans like changing the submodules to my own forks.
* Slows down development as fixes need to be merged on the DMLC subrepo
first, then MXNet updated with the new subrepo commit, effectively doubling
the turnaround time for any fix / commit.
* The DMLC subrepos are in a different organization and subject to
different set of committers and rules.
I think we should have a plan forward to have MXNet be more self contained,
so it's faster and easier to contribute.
