@jroesch It is definitely good that eventually we have only one API in the **core** system, and to make it happen, and here are the steps we planned to take: 1) in the next PR, we will allow only a single target in the core system, and we are able to make it happen without breaking user-facing API at all. Basically we treat the two-argument case as a syntactic sugar of the single-argument case. See my [previous comment](https://github.com/apache/tvm/pull/7462#issuecomment-781584977) for details. After this step, the **core** system does only have one API. 2) If we decided to change user-facing API, we need to send out a deprecation RFC to the community for broader agreement. 3) In the next release cycle, we keep that API, but prints a deprecation warning in python saying it is going to be removed in the next cycle. 4) In the next fo next release cycle, we finally remove `target_host` from the signature. Because the core system has been upgraded in step 1), the effort to remove the argument is minimal ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
