I can't believe AWS has dropped Keras from its deep learning AMI and replaced it with a *long outdated* MXNet version (v1.2). What?

Keras 2 is what people use. If you care about users, you should provide them with what they are looking for: the official Keras 2.0.8
In my book, I recommended the AWS DL AMI as a great way to get started. This forces me to change this recommendation

If you want Keras users to switch to a MXNet backend, you should submit a PR to Keras, like we did for CNTK. It was a fruitful collaboration

Trying to force users' hand will not work out in the long term. I'm sure you will agree

The only thing that changed on the AMI is that Keras 1.2 on MxNet is smoking fast and memory efficient :-) https://medium.com/@julsimon/keras-shoot-out-tensorflow-vs-mxnet-51ae2b30a9c0 …
