Indeed. Either that, or use a packaging system that's more capable in this
regard - conda-forge for example will give you runtime switching of BLAS
and LAPACK libraries out of the box (
https://conda-forge.org/docs/maintainer/knowledge_base.html#switching-blas-implementation).
Several Linux distros support this too, via mechanisms like
`update-alternatives` - but that won't help you much on macOS of course.

Once macOS 13.3 is out, building SciPy from source will also link to

Yes, if I had to guess now then I'd say that this will be the default in
NumPy 2.0 at the end of the year.

Cheers,
