It seems to me that most of the machinery about selecting which numerical package to import can be removed, correct? This is mainly in numerix/__init__.py. The rcParam can be kept around, but maybe we should warn if it's not set to numpy since it ain't gonna do what you asked...
It's not just "dead code" -- Leaving it in means that mpl will attempt to import numarray in the event that a stale .matplotlibrc file asks for it... It was the source of a real head-scratcher in a recent internal support request I got. Thought I'd check on the list before I started, because I know the "numpification" process has some complexities I'm not too familiar with.
