I guess there are two questions here 1) Will something like the current version of masked arrays have a long term future in numpy, regardless of eventual API? Most likely answer - yes? 2) Will likely changes to the masked array API make any difference to the number of extra pointers? Likely answer no? Is that right? I have the impression that the masked array API discussion still has not come out fully into the unforgiving light of discussion day, but if the answer to 2) is No, then I suppose the API discussion is not relevant to the 3 pointers change.
