You can see the previous discussion here:

Since it's available in scipy, most maintainers don't feel a need for it to
be in numpy. It's a judgment call as to what remains in scipy and what gets
pushed down into numpy, and everyone is free to have their judgment go
either way, but I don't think the opinion of the maintainers has drifted
much from the last time this was discussed.
