 Review comment:
   Agree, let's not block that PR. But please add a comment here that this is a 
temporary solution and link it with the issue. 
   
   Would you mind if we start a thread on dev@ to discuss this topic? I think 
we should have a thorough analysis on this topic. I agree that this might cause 
a breaking change, but on the other hand, our users might have worked with 
wrong operators the entire time which might have caused unknown side effects - 
something that's probably even worse than a detailed error message.  I'd like 
to understand what calculation we're exactly doing if cudnn is not supported. 
What are we falling back to and why is that fallback incorrect.
