I would be in favor too, but having not being able to code much in numpy the last few months, my opinion should not carry too much weight. I don't know how many people install numpy from github nowadays (which are the first "victims" when ABI breaks) cheers, David _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
