Without taking sides on which way to go, I'd like to -1 the idea of a difference in behavior between numpy and scipy. IMHO, scipy should be within reason a strict superset of numpy. Gratuitious differences in behavior like this one are going to drive us all mad. There are people who import scipy for everything, others distinguish between numpy and scipy, others use numpy alone and at some point in their life's code they do import numpy as N -> import scipy as N because they start needing stuff not in plain numpy. Having different APIs and behaviors appear there is, I think, a Seriously Bad Idea (TM).
