Mike, This, however, brings us back to the plea by Volker Blum: http://www.mail-archive.com/matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg22669.html There is a real tension between the need to clean things up and simplify them, and users' desire for minimal loss of backwards compatibility. Personally, my instincts are in the "clean it up" camp, but a good balance has to be found. nxutils was definitely a vestige of an earlier era; but I don't think it went through any official, publicized, deprecation process, did it? Maybe it didn't need to; I don't know. Perhaps we need to formulate and write down a deprecation policy.
