Hi Chai,

If there is no one maintaining MXNet-ONNX support (or no one currently 
available to help debug issues), then we shouldn’t block forward progress 
because of failing ONNX tests. 

It would be great if someone wanted to work with Chai to debug the failing 
tests. But I do not see any forward plans/proposals to continue to develop or 
even just maintain the current ONNX support. 

Anirudh, if you can point those who are willing to maintain the ONNX support to 
the issue Chai mentioned that would be a good place to start. But if not, we 
should help Chai continue the great work he’s doing by disabling the failing 
tests (like we normally do for any failing/flaky tests already)
