I think that's a good idea. If I recall correctly, numpy.core.ma had been exposed as numpy.ma, and some code uses it. Having an old and a new version in places where previously only the old version used to be won't solve the problem. The two MaskedArray modules are (supposed to be) API compatible, and we shouldn't see any breakage (Charles' experience was unfortunate, but that's been sorted out now); therefore, I'd expose the new masked arrays as numpy.ma and add a warning to the release message, which also refers anyone with problems to numpy.oldnumeric.ma (which, btw, has a number of bugs itself, which were discovered while coding the new masked arrays).
