Thanks for these suggestions Stuart!  butcher certainly seems relevant.  I
tried it out on
the adabag output in You's package was able to effectuate some nice
reductions
340,192 B
171,896 B

So this in conjunction with xz compression could make this a moot point
for @You Zhou.

As for the ModelHub, two thoughts.  First, I'd be more inclined at this
stage to partner with a
system like kipoi.org, with fitted models archived there and retrieved by
API as needed by bioc
packages.  I wonder if there are any good examples of this by now.

Second, although I don't feel we have capacity in core to introduce a new
Hub at just this point,
I think we'd be able to help a motivated community-based team to produce
one -- if kipoi suggestion isn't
viable -- utilizing some Azure resources that have been contributed by
Microsoft Genomics.  Interested
parties should write to the list.

I don't see a bioc slack channel devoted to AI/ML and maybe there would be
good traffic on one.
This "task area" could be added to biocchallenges, or could be a topic for
a developer forum meeting.
