The current somewhat concrete proposal I am aware of involves funding cleaning 
up dtypes. Is there another concrete, credible proposal to make Numba a 
dependency of NumPy that you can refer to? If not, why are we mired in 
hypotheticals?

May? Can you elaborate? More speculation. My own position is that these 
projects want to integrate with NumPy, not the converse. Regardless of my 
opinion, can you actually make any specific arguements, one way or the otehr? 
What if if some integrations actually make more sense for the community? Is 
this simply a dogmatic ideological position that anything whatsoever that 
benefits both NumPy and Continuum simultaneously is bad, on principle? That's 
fine, as such, but let's make that position explicit if that's all it is.
