   @tqchen, @masahi: Thanks for your feedback. However I couldn't not agree completely on the reasonings shared by masahi. 
   
   Please find my response accordingly. 
   
   I know the current support of ONNX, but is that not the case for many of the frontends already supported now?
   
   Also if the CI slowness is the worry, then we should come up with a solution for that. We should not restrict to fewer frontends. 
   
   As I see, the numerous user of chainer framework will get benefitted by this frontends, even though they are encouraged to switch to other framework.
   
   As the concern raised for development and maintenance, definitely I will take care of that through constant effort. Also one point, the maintenance effort is proportional to no of active user(as the requirement also increases with that).
   
   My opinion is this frontend will attract more user towards TVM. Thanks!
