This was long overdue and helps us support 2D plotting better -- eg user extensible projections -- and results in cleaner code. None of the developers thus far have taken 3d plotting under their wing to support it. The implementation, while extremely clever, is slow and has some zorder problems, so we haven't fully embraced it, though we have said for a long time we would like some minimum level of 3D support that works out of the box. Michael did a lot of work to make the transformation code mostly compatible at the API level, and included some untested place holders for higher dimensional data structures, but their are differences which are detailed in the migration document in the source directory. Since the 3d coding naturally uses a lot of transformations, someone would have to do the work to port these calls to the new API, *and* agree to support it going forward for us to reinclude it.
