Hi Chuck, and thanks for putting this together!

It seems the release has broken existing uses of dask array with `np.min` (I 
presume among other functions):

https://github.com/dask/dask/issues/5031

Perhaps `__array_function__` should be switched off for one more release cycle? 
I imagine that scikit-image [1] are not the only ones using this construct, 
which worked fine before `__array_function__`.

Thank goodness (and you!) for pre-releases! ;)

Juan.
