Not quite. I think the idea was to use numpy internally, but to let the numerix layer stay as it is so that users' code built on numerix can still work with other array packages. When that code calls mpl, everything should still work; the other arrays will internally be converted to numpy. The point is that although users will have to *have* numpy, they will not yet have to convert all their other packages to numpy; if they have extension packages built on numarray, for example, and accessed via code using matplotlib.numerix, everything will still work.
