The problem is that the DMLC organization and dmlc-core is not part of the
Apache software foundation. If that change is specifically for dmlc-core,
it has to be discussed in that community. This email list is for MXNet
under the Apache incubator.

Apparently, there's a very strong dependency of MXNet on the dmlc-core
package which is not managed by this community. Risks like code over there
not being properly validated by our CI (there has been a thread created by
Chris just recently) aside - this is not the way an Apache project should
work. MXNet is currently under the Apache software foundation while the
actual core is managed by the DMLC organization, leaving the mxnet
community without any say in decisions happening over there.

We as a community should discuss whether we want to keep this strong
dependency up.
