deprecated attributes in the models from the zoo

Hello,

TL;DR: is there a plan to remove the deprecated attributes? Shouldn't we ensure that all new uploaded models do not use any deprecated attributes?

Longer: In the IR, the auto_padding is deprecated in most of the operators.
The problem is that a lot of backends is still using it, and some of the models from the zoo are using this attribute for maxpool or convolution.

We may have some backends that don't implement this behavior and yet be compatible with ONNX.
As an example, I am implementing an ONNX decoder in Go and I am using the Gorgonia library as a backend.
The problem I encounter is that I have to implement those attributes if I want to actually execute those models, and from times to time it is not trivial.

• Shouldn't we ensure that all new uploaded models do not use any deprecated attributes?
• What is the plan to manage the lifecycle of the models in the zoo?

Start by reviewing the model zoo's upload process and the models that use the deprecated auto_padding attribute, especially for maxpool and convolution. Determine whether the repository has a way to validate new uploads and how existing models are maintained. Done would require an agreed lifecycle or validation plan, but the issue does not identify files or tests.
