Dear community,

Currently MXNet has a Caffe framework integration (translator and
converter) [1].

There were some issues discovered with it, for example some tests were
failing [2]. Since we decided to remove the flaky tests and proceed to
making them stable I propose completely removing this functionality
instead.

There are multiple reasons to this:

* Mind that this is Caffe 1 (not 2)
* Some people mentioned: "Caffe is soooooo 2015."
* Keeping functionality that is both unstable and old is a burden for
maintenance.
* Keeping functionality that nobody needs is not necessary overall

Please let me know your thoughts.

Best
Anton
