But if it does go in and is used in 0.13, won't that effectively lock it in until the next scipy/numpy release? That seems a bit dangerous if you think some changes might be warranted. OTOH, the testing might be worth the risk... My hope is that the next numpy release take much less time than 1.8, which is almost three releases worth of changes. Chuck
