I'm not 100% sure what you are referring to....

We decided to leave numerix as is for users who wrote scripts around it, eg

  import matplotlib.numerix as nx
  x = nx.arange(10).
  plot(x)

Of cource, mpl will use numpy under the hood, and should not import
numerix itself anywhere in mpl, but we did not want to break the code
of users who depended on it.  If they set numerix to numarray, numerix
will give them numarray, but mpl will convert it to numpy in the
asarray calls.  As long as the Numeric, numarray or numpy they are
using supports the array protocol we should have no troubles.

Or are you talking about something completely different?
