If a SPEC is not relevant,
I thought we always had in practice longer support than NEP 29 as well and it lived in NumPy. There was some change due the Python release cadence, IIRC, but wasn't that addressed in the SPEC 0 document? FWIW, even if we have slightly longer times and it thus isn't "adopted 100", I think it does inform us with respect to deprecation timelines? For SPEC 7, I think we certainly should endorse it, exactly because it is a recommendation for downstream. Even though we have no API where it applies. I don't have not formed a strong opinion about the other two yet. For those, I would agree that it may be a bit odd to "endorse" but not plan to adopt them at least in parts. - Sebastian > then I don't think the NumPy project (as a project) can have an > opinion on whether it is "good" for other projects.
