Thanks, Rahul. Out of the 4 conversations you listed that you think are not
necessary, I actually think the PR on coreml tool may be worth discussing.
For example, should it (and other tools) have a separate repo, and should
its version management be tied to mxnet.

And on:

people don't get their eyes on valuable discussions on dev@.

I think this argument is based more on emotion than on reason. I subscribe
to over 130 email lists for work, lots of which has PR/commit updates that
are not my immediate concern, and it hasn't prevented me from reading
valuable discussions.
