Ok, with the above landed, I think we can call this topic closed. Thanks for the feedback and encouragement everyone. There is still more house-cleaning to do, but that is more in the normal vein of the work.
I think this also completes the frontend plan from the torch-mlir/docs/long_term_roadmap.md at main · llvm/torch-mlir · GitHub
My group has no immediate plans to work on the backend part of the long term roadmap, but I’m open to other interested parties pushing there if there is value.
My group will be taking an interest in test suite conformance (last section of the roadmap) next year. We will likely be pursuing a path that lets us leverage a combination of various ONNX test suites (which now lowers to torch-mlir) and torch-bench.
We should probably just note these items into a revised roadmap.md and delete the current long_term_roadmap.md.
