I'm going with the element of least surprise: no one will be surprised when 1.5 is released with ABI changes (it's been done that way for a long time), but they will be surprised to see that 2.0 is not the Big Thing it was promised to be. Nothing we can't fix with some good PR, though :) Cheers Stéfan _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
