I am probably a little biased on this because I've been using Pierre's 
maskedarray module with the timeseries module for a while now, but I am 
definitely in favor of this. The timeseries module in it's current form 
wouldn't really be possible with the current numpy.ma because of subclassing 
issues (well, it would be a lot uglier anyway). The maskedarray module in the 
sandbox works very well and the few bugs I've encountered Pierre has been quick 
to implement fixes for. The fact that it works seamlessly as a drop in 
replacement in matplotlib is a good sign as far as backwards compatibility.
