Hi Ciyong, I just discovered an issue with the 1.7, which causes the Yolo training with latest Gluon CV Yolo to fail.
The PR that causes the failure is https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/18358, which modifies basic blocks of Gluon to fix a memory leak issue. Talked with Leonard, the author of the PR, and he said he found the root cause, but patching that PR would modifies those Gluon basic blocks further, which might be risky towards existing models and various customer models. So my 2-cents is reverting this PR in 1.7, and try patching the PR in 1.x and 2.0, meaning that the 1.7 won't have memory usage optimized by that feature. I'd like to hear what you think about this issue.
