I think that migration will require some amount of manual intervention, and 
that this is a perfect opportunity to review the issues which can be part of 
the NumPy 1.8 work-load.   

There is an intern I am working with who is looking for something more 
substantial to do, and this would also be a good opportunity for others who 
would like to get some experience with NumPy.
