Maybe someone composes another preemptive blog post about this? I think this needs some banging on the pans to soften its landing since NumPy 2.0 is a big deal. The community will take care of its circulation in typical places. We always get the grilling no matter the outcome :)
But I think it is important that at least package maintainers see this and react to it.
